Stratstone became the first showroom globally to host the Jaguar Type 00, at an exclusive event earlier last month.
Jaguar Wolverhampton welcomed the concept car to its store, to be viewed by an intimate VIP audience of 40 guests.
Paul Westaway, Managing Director of Stratstone Luxury and Exotics, said: “To host the first retailer showcase of Type 00 globally here in Wolverhampton is something we are incredibly proud of. The energy in the room reflected the significance of the moment.
“This was more than a regular ‘show and tell’, it was a genuine experience for our guests who were able to engage directly with the people behind the transformation, and witness first-hand the bold direction Jaguar is taking.”
Among those in attendance were Rawdon Glover, Managing Director of Jaguar, and David Doody, Jaguar Programme Chief.
During the evening, Jaguar’s leadership team shared personal insight into the brand’s reinvention.
Santino Pietrosanti, Director of Jaguar UK, said: “Tonight was truly one for the history books. For the first time, we brought Type 00 into a showroom, finished in our bespoke London Red. Under the lights it looked almost surreal, and our guests — from long-standing Jaguar enthusiasts to clients discovering us anew — were able to deepen their individual journeys with the brand.
“They may have arrived from different paths, but all shared a genuine respect and curiosity for where Jaguar is heading next. We opened up the stories behind our transformation: the craftsmanship, the pioneering engineering and the passion driving our reset.
“The questions from guests were thoughtful, and the sense of excitement was unmistakable. Luxury isn’t just about a product — it’s about a connection to something greater — and you could feel that moment of ‘click’ throughout the evening.”
