The standard S-Type had its distinctive features, distinguishing marks that had already introduced something new era in the Jaguar: a dynamic and sporty line, and the unmistakable oval grille and trim the tail. The ability of the body Panzani was to adhere to these tenets, twisting everything that’s around: carrozeria the building has been completely re-used in sheet metal components entirely ad hoc, staying perfectly on the original anchors. The wheel arches have been widened to 10 cm on both axes and connected perfectly on the new bumper: In the front there are two large air intakes that balance the aesthetic balance of flashy Jaguar grille, and above all optimize the flow of water towards The braking system which – as we shall see later – was obviously increased.

Another key hallmark of the S-Type has been met with fist in defiance of the dictates of fashion, they always want a facelift to the look of the creatures, the headlights have been kept original and only covered with metal grilles that recall the wise racing cars of the ’70s.The only concession to modernity that have been granted is a pair of emitting LED daytime slots at the bottom of the bumper.The mirrors are a gem: small, round, perfectly integrated in the doors and especially very old style. There’s past has been preserved also in the choice of the cap of gasoline, now fully exposed.

While respecting the oval of the moldings, the actions on the queue status are more invasive: in this case, for example, the original lights were replaced by two elements led to 180mm in diameter and well in the bumper has been build a new extractor Maranello air style that has “imposed” the choice of a central outlet to double output of 100mm in diameter. The ultimate in sophistication was reserved for the body color, a particular composition studied from the center of the Panzani Design style: it is a gray / lava intense and full bodied, a very uniform grain and then treated with a transparent finish.

The structure of Vintage GT was even more extreme, with a lowering of 40mm on both axes, and an enhanced braking system with discs and calipers with 4 pistons plus. A body so impressive, then, could only take appropriate wheel groups: OZ rims 10 “x 20″ front and 12 “x 20″ rear, on which they were keyed respectively 255/35 and 305/30 tires.
