On the way to the Sunday Service at Gaydon I saw this (pic I found on Autocar Website). I now know it to be the 'disguised' newly facelifted Jaguar XF. I assumed it was part of the Sunday Service Jaguar exhibition. I got there at about 11.30, and saw this in the village of Gaydon after I had missed the sign to the museum and took a wrong turn.

Anyone else see it, or was it at the display earlier ?

saw a facelift XJ a few weeks back in coventry. It had those reflector stickers on it that they use for wind tunnel/fluid dynamics. Guess they were testing different modifications to see what aerodynamic effect they would have.

Have seen this and a paisley pattern one and a yellow/black pattern baby range rover [I think] pass our house. They tend to pass through the village where I live then head out back to the A45. I have seen them disguised with what looks like card board boxes and test vehices that have different coloured panels and stickers.Iv'e often wondered what they were for exactly.

I saw both - apparently the front end will be getting an XJ style front makeover which in my eyes is a good thing as I always found the front end the weakest looking part of design. I imagine the rear lights will get the de riguer LED treatment.

Probably the facelift XF. I heard they are going to put a 2.2 diesel into them?
