Velar was popular seat material in the '80's.
Oh it was velour, but the kids who design stuff today wouldn't recognise the '80's. The period when Brylcreem became extinct. Although one of my first bosses in the mid seventies, an ex Customs Officer with an attitude to match, lathered it on every day. We had all moved onto Trugel by then  - the ladies weren't too keen on brylcreem all over their pillows.. Another TM drift- well done Mr W..

I live near the Gaydon plant and my brother in law works for JLR. I saw the new Disco some time ago in prototype form. Hideous. I do not know what they were thinking. As for the Velar, these have been driving around here on the roads in test form for some time now and i have to say, on the road, they look great. Like a grown up Evoque and seems (to me at least) much better proprtioned. Incidentally, he came round today in a mule car with a new Jag prototype straight 6 petrol engine in it and took me for a spin. Wow! Could see this in the Aero chassis - and that spoken by someone who has - and loves - the V8 S5! That sounds promising for JLR and possibly Morgan.
