Jaguar F-Type Coupe by SVO for Tour de France support on time trials We’ve already had two new cars from JLR’s new Special Operations division ion the guise of the new Range Rover Sport SVR and Jaguar F-Type Project 7, and now we get another – the Jaguar F-Type R Coupe support car for Jaguar’s Team SKY Tour de France exploits.
