PistonHeads’ inside sources tell us that 400 VIPs and press were due at the new XJ’s official launch party on Thursday evening, but a whopping 700 turned up.
What none of those 700 guests got to see, however, was this - the new Jaguar XJ on the road. So of course when we got the call that two Jaguar XJs were making their way around London, post-Saatchi gallery launch, it was a photo opportunity not to be missed.
So, away from the glamour and the spotlights of the launch, how does it look? Beauty, as they say, is in the eye of the beholder, but this reporter reckons it looks pretty damn sleek. Check out the pics and video, and decide for yourself…
