Polish, Pinstripes & a New Perspective: A Big Day for Our Jaguar XJS

We had a special visit at The Forge today from our good friends over at Norty Detailing, who came in to give our beautiful 1992 Jaguar XJS V12 the attention it truly deserves.

The team carried out a full body polish, carefully restoring the deep gloss of the paintwork, before applying a fresh set of pinstripe decals and fitting new rear boot badges to complete the car’s classic look.

But today’s session wasn’t just about the detailing work.

In a bit of a twist, Ryan from Norty Detailing brought his drone along — and we’re so glad he did.

After the final polish, Ryan captured some 360-degree video footage of the XJS, and we have to say, the results are great. Seeing the car from new angles has breathed fresh life into our marketing visuals and shown off the curves and presence of this Jaguar in a whole new light.

We’re now seriously considering recruiting Ryan into The Forge’s marketing team — because from here on out, drone footage feels like a must for all of our featured cars!

We’re genuinely excited about the creative opportunities this opens up, and we can’t wait to experiment with more content to showcase the unique details and elegance of each classic we offer.

A huge thank you to Ryan and the Norty Detailing team for their continued support — both on the ground and now in the air.

Watch this space — quite literally — for what’s coming next.
