The new Jaguar XKR-S was at the Goodwood Festival of Speed press day today, looking resplendent in 'Italian Racing Red' (and sounding rather fruity, according to our man on the ground PH editor Chris-R, whom we can thank for these pics).
But the bright-red Jag at Goodwood, and the 'French Racing Blue' version we saw at Geneva, has got us wondering: whatever happened to British Racing Green?
We know they say that only the Germans ever really bought BRG cars, and that the colour became rather a cliché, a victim of its own notoriety but, given Jaguar's rebirth as a force to be reckoned with in the world of sporty cars, perhaps it's time for a resurrection of British Racing Green?
Perhaps it could be re-introduced on an XFR-S... rumours about the like of which (an XFR with some body-tweakery and the same sort of engine and suspension tweaks that the XKR-S benefits from) are beginning to swirl around the industry.
