...reminiscent of the Lyonheart Jaguar project
I believe David Brown was behind that as well. Certainly, both were supposedly to be built in the same Coventry factory which also churns out Spykers, and both reskinned XKRs, although the Lyonheart was to get a more bespoke interior. However, I've seen nothing more than renderings of the Lyonheart - I would imagine it's died a death. Good riddance too - I look forward to this fake Aceca/DB6 thing going the same way.RoverP6B said:

The rear seat is interesting, ideal for a tiger shoot or middle eastern falconry ... or watching vintage cars blast up a hill.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ntVWRhfqo0I'm a bit late to party on this, but I have seen this car being reviewed in this month's Car magazine. It looks a lot better in their photos than the ones illustrating the PH one!
I think its proportions look good. It is an obvious DB5 interpretation, but I see nothing wrong with that. As for all the keyboard warrior hostility towards David Brown, well I wish him well. He's got the drive and nous to create this and deserves respect as a car enthusiast - as I'm sure that's the main project driver!

£600k?I think its proportions look good. It is an obvious DB5 interpretation, but I see nothing wrong with that. As for all the keyboard warrior hostility towards David Brown, well I wish him well.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but for that amount couldn't you buy two of the real thing even in todays market, instead of this whacky racers pastiche ?........ Forgive me again ! I took a look at their sales pamphlet and I'd have to say on reflection, that it's a very handsome car indeed.
