Global production of the Jaguar F-Type Project 7 was capped at just 250 examples and among the fortunate few that own one is Harry Metcalfe. Unlike other owners, he isn’t afraid of driving the car.

Recently, the former editor of Evo Magazine embarked on a roadtrip in his F-Type Project 7 that saw him travel from the UK to the French Riviera as part of a 2,000-mile journey. The two videos below show the first two parts of his journey.

In part one, Metcalfe traveled from his home to the 2021 Hampton Court Concours. Only the first third of the video actually shows him driving the F-Type Project 7 while the rest of it shows him walking around the Concours and checking out all the cars on display.

Among the highlights on display at the show were an orange McLaren F1 GTR, Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brake, Porsche 917K, the famed Aston Martin Bulldog, Lamborghini Countach, Ferrari F50, LaFerrari, and the bespoke Pagani Zonda 760VR, a car that started life out as a Zonda F Roadster which Metcalfe actually drove back in the day.

The second video shows Metcalfe starting his French leg of the journey from a hotel near Calais before blasting down the Autoroute on his way to Antibes. Most of this leg was nothing but highway driving but towards the end, he headed away from the motorway to experience the famed Route Napoleon where he could drive the F-Type Project 7 the way it was designed to be driven.

Both BMW and Jaguar have long and proud histories of producing some of the industry’s finest sports cars, and the M2 CS and F-Type are among the best.

In the most recent review from Lovecars starring Tiff Needell, the M2 CS and the facelifted F-Type go toe-to-toe on a tight and twisty track before heading out onto the open road. While the M2 CS and F-Type are not direct rivals, they offer similar performance and, in the UK at least, carry similar price tags.

The F-Type featured in this clip is a new variant dubbed the P450. This model uses Jaguar’s 5.0-liter supercharged V8 but has been detuned to 444 hp and 428 lb-ft (580 Nm) of torque. This engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear- or, optionally, all-wheel. The example tested had the all-wheel drive system and can hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in 4.4 seconds while reaching a 177 mph (285 km/h) top speed.

By comparison, the M2 CS features a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged six-cylinder that is good for 444 hp and 406 lb-ft (550 Nm) of torque. Unlike the F-Type, the M2 CS tested came with a six-speed manual gearbox. It’s rear-wheel drive but, because it weighs less, it is quicker off the line than the Jaguar, hitting 60 mph in 4.0 seconds and maxing out at 174 mph (280 km/h).

During the track tests, the Jaguar was 0.8 seconds slower than the M2 CS. Considering its added weight, that’s not too bad.
