THE PROUD FATHER
There are, one may assume, many reasons to be envious of David Gandy. But none more so than his Jaguar XK120 Lightweight roadster.
Britain’s best-known male model is, by his own admission, feeling overwhelmed. We are poolside at a chic Saint-Tropez hotel, where the unmistakable shape of one of the 1950s’ most iconic sports cars lies beneath a sheet, silhouetted under studio lighting like a Hollywood dame of the same vintage resting between love scenes.
He removes the cover, revealing a svelte black body and tan leather interior with lattice-patterned seats. It is a motor car of such sensual perfection that onlookers are at a loss for words. If Hermès made a vibrator, it might look something like this.
Gandy has spent the past 11 months working with Jaguar Land Rover Classic
