Jaguar XJ220 The Official Story

[ReUpload]
(NOTE: Due to a copyright claim from "Duke Marketing Ltd" which owns the racing footage, I had to cover those parts).
Documentary made about the superb super-car, the Jaguar XJ220.
It features an interview with the car's "father", (former) Jaguar's chief engineer Jim Randle, as well as the car's body stylist, Keith Helfet.
Also factory footage of making the manufacturing the car, as well as a full 7+ mins. track run footage (complete with cool 80's-like music).
The documentary seems to have been made between 1992 and 1994, as the car is referred to as the fastest production car in the world, something that was true until 1994 when the McLaren F1 came along.
This is from a vhs tape, so quality of transfer is not perfect.

Having been lucky enough to own contract number 266 build number 200 for 10 years (2009 - 2019) I can say other than them being fearfully expensive to service they are really worth every penny. A Henry Moor sculpture on wheels!

[@Vebinz]

You're wlecome. It was my dream car when it came out 3 decades ago. If you want the video without the blacked-out segments I'll upload it somewhere for you. It's just racing footage.

One of the best car documents I've ever seen. What an amazing and awesome car. Both beautiful and stylish. Perhaps the most striking supercar made. In a class of it's own. Well done Jaguar!! Thanks for posting this.

How old is this.

[@Vebinz]

Some 30 years or so. The car is refered to as the fastest prodction car in the world, which was only true from 1992 to 1994.

8:50 what the name of the music plees 😢❤

[@Vebinz]

I'm sorry, I wish I could tell you but there are no specific music credits. It is likely just something made for the documentary. You can try idetifying it with Shazam?

[@tim234mumba]

@@Vebinz i have allredy try . Can you try it ? :)

[@tim234mumba]

​@@Vebinz i know you dont have it my friend but thx you so much to take your time to respond to me... Can you plees try to find the song whit shamze?? I have am still trying it 😵😭. I hope your phone mic is better then my phone . Haha can you plees try ?

[@Vebinz]

@@tim234mumba Unfortunately there was no identifying the music. I tried with Shazam and SoundHound and BeatFind, and none found anythig. It must be either Stock Music, or something composed for the documentary. Probably Stock Music since there seems to be no credit for a composer. You can always download the video and take out the music as mp3. Sorry about that.
