What he said - taken from another video:

"I think it's because the YouTube bots can detect copyrighted material through the code and by flipping the video, it changes the code so the video won't be taken down"

I didn't realise the van was actually an XJ220 with van body. I just thought it was a mid-engined converted Tranny.

That van is the Goodwood van I thought everyone would have spotted it by the XJ220 wheels!

Don't they use this all year round for gardening etc then abuse it for Goodwood Festival!

no

its owned by Don Law racing, and was built by jaguar so they could see how an xj200 would behave in traffic but not look like a super car and therefore attract lots of attention to what was then a prototype

even cooler when don law went to collect the new old stock jag parts from coventry he was told that crappy transit round the back was his to, he thought they meant it was loaded with bits in the back, not what it actullay turned out to be
