A white haired gentleman with a handlebar moustache drove past me in a XJ something. Perfect look for a Jag and why I can't ever own one.

Arguably better than a black splash, depending on your personal preferences.

Sadly Yep

It says that is called a 'strike through' which is something I once had rushing for the train after a potent tandoori.

Just reminds me of the 80's "Backflash" rear window graphics (which is it surprisingly hard to find images of.....)

@Explosive Newt segway : I followed Peter on twitter for months (as car guy and fan of piggery smokery bacon) and he casually mentioned one day that he was the inventor of the 80's backflash. Didn't even mention it in his bio at that time.... has added it now

Ah, so that's what the new Jag ev will be like.

{b}G[/b]erry McGovern. Incidentally, that's where the whole idea for that campaign came from. He was walking round the factory with a walkie talkie when his PA spoke to him; "Gerry, did you get the memo? Copy." and the theme of unclear communication was set.
"Sustainable responsible dynamic new design language" he said, and to display this new design language he designed a new font. When management muttered "wtf?" when they saw it he replied excitedly "Yes! Welcome to' future! I am master designer, I copy nothing - including the case with repeated letters. Much needed reimagine; individual premium cockwaffle".

Fantastic claim to fame. You don't think things like that get invented, they just spontaneously appear in the universe in the right conditions.
