Racing the Jaguar

I might have missed something, but when the guy in the jag asks him to race, doesn't he have a totally restored beautiful Jaguar. Then about a minute into the race it looks like a completely different, beat up dirty Jag?

Not at all. It's a beater from the get-go.

I've watched it twice now and I swear you're right. The Jaguar seems to be almost gleaming when it first appears. Irrespective of the dust and possible dent it may have received from touching Kowalski's car in their race, the transformation into a completely beat up, dirty jag just before it crashes (in the space of a couple of minutes) is astonishing.
