The XJ220 had been planned for a limited life, Jaguar with a half-share in Bloxham was now owned by Ford, so the pieces of the jigsaw fitted. Aston Martin (Oxford) was formed, with Ian Callum in charge of the DB7’s style and Jackie Stewart on the board to ensure its sporting pedigree. A consultant to Ford since his racing days, Stewart protested. 'I don't work for Aston Martin.' Walter Hayes' was in charge. His reply was succinct. 'You do now.'
