The Jaguar 2.5SE is a better car than some will have you believe. Ford Mondeo in drag? No way! I have it on good authority that the Jaguar does not share the same floor pan as the Mondeo. With the extra weight that the Jaguar carries, the Mondeo frame would not have sufficed. The actual floor pan is made of two different parts of differing thickness' which are laser welded together. This process of laser welding the stock before pressing the part was very new at the time. One word sums it up - brill.
