The '96 XK8's exterior was penned by Fergus Pollock, the interior by Karen Anderson, and engineer Bob Dover was the project director (and, later, chairman of the board). Lawson was the head of Ford/Jaguar's in-house design team - not specific to the XK. Callum is a Scot, and is probably an American citizen by now.

I was with you until you said F150. The
one thing American car mfgs can make are trucks (and guns)! :drinking: Nothing better than an F350 dually for towing a 911 RS America to and from the track. :biggrin:
