England International and Northampton rugby star, Ben Cohen, recently visited Jaguar's Browns Lane headquarters in Coventry and scored a nifty conversion - to a new Jaguar X-Type.
Cohen, 23, who is a keen motoring enthusiast, also took the opportunity to tour the heritage showroom at the Coventry site, and as a nephew to 1966 England football world cup hero, George Cohen, Ben was fascinated by the company's equally illustrious sporting heritage.
Vintage E-Types and XK models caught his eye, with the legendary Jaguar XJ220, also a speedy and powerful performer, proving particularly impressive to the young sports star.
On his visit to Coventry, Cohen said: "The Jaguar is a fabulous brand that I am very proud to be associated with; the cars stand for everything a good rugby player strives to be: powerful and agile. When I first tested the X-Type Sport, I knew I had to make the conversion."
