One of the best-looking Jags of modern times, we reckon. And that"s most odd, considering the cars Jaguar were actually selling in the late Nineties and early Noughties (the XK180 was revealed at the Paris Motor Show in 1998) included the quite awful S-Type.Keith Helfet is the man responsible for the way the XK180 looks. He worked on the XJ220, too, and as much is obvious when you look at the two side-by-side. Aluminium panels (hand-formed by the same company that did them for C- and D-Types in the Fifties) clothe modified XKR underpinnings.
