Anyone remember John Steed's Jaguar?

To refresh your memory.








What would you think if you saw a Jag that someone had done this too?


I'll pitch my tent on the "I Love it!!! I Wonder how much it would cost to do?" side of the fence.

Cool, never seen that before but just found some bigger images.





I would love to go about half-way to doing what he has done. Just a bit more beast than beauty.

Oh My!



I think I am in love. I wonder if it would look as good on a four door...

ETA: I guess i would have to weld the back doors up...

Don't know, but I just googled His name (to see who he was) and i stumbled across a write up about a chap called Tim with a Yellow D type!

A recent program on TV cars quoted Patrick Macnee as stating he loved the Bentley in the original Avengers but hated the Jaguar XJ Coupe in the New Avengers. The following web link, backs this up, those huge tyres did nothing for handling'.

I have heard that about this Jag. I wonder if it is because the car was actually set up as a racing car rather than a road car. Would it have a bigger turning circle / No power steering and stuff like that or was it really just the size of the tyres?
