In a tale that can only be described as a rollercoaster of emotions, Sam from Seen Through Glass finally got his hands on the coveted Jaguar XE Project 8. Initially put off by the steep price tag, he was drawn in by the sheer power and performance of this beast after a thrilling test drive. With a roaring 5L V8 engine under the hood and all-wheel drive to keep it grounded, the Project 8 is a force to be reckoned with on the road. The meticulous engineering that went into fitting this powerhouse into the XE chassis is truly a marvel, with extensive cooling systems and carbon fiber components to optimize performance.
Inside, the Project 8 offers a blend of standard XC features with the option to upgrade to a track pack, which swaps out comfortable seats for fixed carbon fiber buckets and adds a roll cage for that extra edge. Despite Jaguar's initial plan to produce 300 units, only around 200 of these rare machines found their way to customers, adding to the allure of this limited-edition masterpiece. Sam's quest for the perfect Project 8 led him to a unique touring variant with four seats and 30,000 miles on the clock, a true gem in a sea of low-mileage collector's items.
After missing out on the touring variant twice before, Sam's determination paid off when the car resurfaced on the market, signaling a fateful reunion between man and machine. With finance in place and the original owner consulted, the stars seemed aligned for Sam to finally make the Project 8 his own. However, a last-minute twist saw the car snatched away by another buyer, leaving Sam disheartened but not defeated. Just when all hope seemed lost, a surprise call from Jaguar Classic reignited Sam's passion, leading to a triumphant acquisition of the car he had long dreamed of.
