To be chosen by Ian Callum to work with him on his project, redesigning and reengineering the Mark 2, is a testament to the skills and passion that exist within the business, and is something that CMC are immensely proud of.

“This is a very personal statement… … a long held notion that, although the Mark 2 has always been a beautiful car, it could be even more exciting in shape and performance…The Mark 2 by Callum will retain the integrity of the original, a form and presence that I have always admired. It will possess an intuitive driving experience, because not only does it have to look exciting, it also has to be exciting to drive” – Ian Callum, Jaguar Director of Design
