Donington Park 2008 - Fast Transit Van Demonstration
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Two demonstration laps by a very quick Ford Transit van during the BTCC event at Donington Park. Not sure what engine is in this van but I'm sure I heard over the tannoy that the shell is mounted on a Jaguar XJ220 chassis.

What a world class comment from someone who obviously wasn't there. It was during the lunch break at the BTCC event 4th May 2008 you knob. If you still don't believe it check the Collard & George crash vid. That was at the same event and there's no Cinzano banner in sight but I suppose that wasn't this year either.
the owner of it saved it from being scrapped, as jaguar had it sitting around for years doing nothing. wish i was the lucky person to be given a chance to own that.
I remember that, i was there :) Great Vid
Cheers for the info. Our local takeaway should invest in one. I may get a warm pizza for once :)
it was the test vehicle for jaguar when they developed the jx220, they could carry out engine and gearbox testing, along with noise testing and other things that are required of a car without having to build a chassis and they could keep it secret and very low key as these companies do. so i wouldn't describe it as a waste of time and money. (it turns out that the van does a faster 0-60 time than the xj220 itself)
Thumbs up if you saw this van on Top Gear
it was justin law in, as has been mentioned, an ex jaguar hack with the 220 engine in it.
hahaha-when was this- i didn't see this on tv!
It did a couple of laps during the lunch break.
that,s cool
@edstermk2 no it wasnt..the owner built it from a scrap xj220 jag running gear.. and its 2008..
@mayzon111222 Why make a dumb comment like that? I do know what year it was, I filmed it myself!. It was 2008 during the BTCC or did I step back in time 6 years when I walked through the gate at Donnington?
