Ian Callum to Build His Own Jaguar MKII
Director of Design at Jaguar Cars, Ian Callum, is teaming up with Classic Motor Cars of Bridgnorth (CMC) to build a special Jaguar MKII that Callum will personally own.
The design specifications of the car will be put together by Callum and a hand-picked team at CMC and will see some fundamental engineering changes. According to Callum, this will be the first classic Jaguar he’s ever owned and looks forward to building a MKII to his exact specifications, a classic car that he’s greatly admired since he was a kid.
When the MKII is finished, the classic sedan will be redesigned both aesthetically and technically, with the stance of the vehicle being the first item Callum will address. After that, the team will simplify the car on the outside while the interior will receive some subtle changes as well.
“We have carried out many special projects for clients all over the world, but this is one of the most exciting that we have ever undertaken,” said Nick Goldthorp, Managing Director of Classic Motor Cars. “We are delighted that Ian came to us.”
