D Type Wedge anyone?!

[smash]

Very interesting use of a wedge! No IVA to deal with either

I've often though I wonder if you could get a cobra to fit a wedge?

D-Type.....One of my all time most favourite classic jags..I have loved them forever...I did a little wee when i saw this at the head turners garage we visited one afternoon...A very impressive replica...

Hi

Yes it's does look good. Plus unlike the wedge based one it has an engine close to the original and appears to be using other more in keeping parts.
But I bet there would be a price differences between them.

Hugely...I think they were looking for around 40K...A bargain when you think an original is probably worth over 1/4 million..But if my lotto numbers come up then i will definitely have one in my collection...

I think an original is more like 1 million, so 40K for a very impressive replicar is not bad as it would fool a few people!

I remember at the 2010 KImbolton Classic Car Show a replicar jag was awarded best in show and it was infact a Volvo based car done by Dave "Plasticman" which made a change from his TVR altered car's

Does look good, and with some of the "C-type" replicas fetching circa £100k could be a good investment.

I can't afford it...

Good aluminium replicas of C/D Types are indeed approaching £100k these days but the very best replicas are anywhere between £250-400k now. Unfortunately, as much as we all like wedges, a fibreglass 350i based rep is never going to be worth much because the Jag folk like their reps to be as authentic as possible. It has to be a XK straight 6 or nothing!

As Mr tank says; a genuine D will set you back £1M as a minimum. Those with the most interesting history and provenance will set you back even more. Anywhere up £5M.

The wedge based one looks like great fun though and you can't ask for much more than that
