Nah mate, it's done with tilt shift and that's a Corgi model. Blatant.

Its a Conway trailer tent, without the optional kitchen. wink

I remember reading a story from someone with a real C-Type about being asked "Who's kit is it?" which he was forever being asked and he'd just reply "oh this is one of the Jaguar kits"

Similar handling qualities, probably.

I recall the commentator at a local classic car show calling for entrants for the kit car and custom prize of the day, and calling over the owner of the nice "C-type* replica" to bring his car in. Followed a little later by a short apology that it's actually a genuine one.

(* might have been a D-type, I forget now).

A few years back, for a special birthday prezzy, the better half rented a Healey 3000 for a day. By the time we'd enjoyed our day out in the Cotswolds and returned to the car hire company they were finished for the day. All the rest of the fleet were tucked away, tight and snug, in an industrial unit with buggerall between them. The owner of the firm just waved me in nonchalantly saying, "You'll be alright, you can drive" as I placed the car between and next to a couple of E Type roadsters and a brand new Morgan with inches to spare... (I then had to climb out over the Healey as there was no space down the sides!)

I remember that happening - it caused quite a few giggles at the time. Was it the Capesthorne show?
