British Racing Green

...of Jaguars and Astons, of cabbages and kings....

I have recently had a thing for British cars, specifically Jaguars and Aston Martins. As of late, I'm digging the 1996-2006 Jaguar XKR, as pictured below. I would love to have one in a British racing green. (For more info on how color liveries are used in auto racing to designate the nationality of a racing team. click this link - International racing colors )

Jaguars:

1999 Jaguar XKR in "sapphire metallic"- 390 h.p.

Here is my favorite coupe model and the CG depiction in a drive

round Trial Mountain raceway of GT5 ...a cracker!

(This cars top speed down Mulsanne straight was 176 m.p.h.)
