2300 Miles in a Jaguar with no Top, One Man’s Epic Journey

June 6, 2017 Banner, Car Shows

Our friend Paul took the time to sit down with the Full Octane Garage and share his incredible 2300 mile journey to collect a replica of a 1952 Jaguar XK120. This beautiful 25 year old reproduction only had one major concern…. its brand new top was not installed!
