Damn banger racers
Discussion
This is just a shame. Another Jag (well sort of) falls for this hill billy shame.
There should be a law against it.
It is a Rapport Forté Estate.

Thats pretty cool. I mean, obviously the headlights would need to be replaced with rockets and machine guns but i think thats actually a pretty neat looking wedge of bread.
Too right, I imagine it could be turned into a great James Bond Q car. I don't think it's that ugly either, similar ish to a Volvo 480 dave

As I understand it that's not A Forte estate, it is THE Forte estate.
Why the juddering f
k did no-one save it?
I guess nobody wanted to.Why the juddering f
k did no-one save it?If it were desirable then it would have had a decent price tag on it, do you honestly think that banger racers would spend loads of money just to smash up a rare car?
Nope they buy cheap s
t and smash it up, I guess nobody wanted to take it on.Perfect example was the Jag shooting brake I saw at a classic show, it was rottener than a very rotten thing! No doubt it was priced according to it's rarity and hence hasn't been bangered.
In 2009 it was auctioned by Brightwells for £9900 inc premium
Chassis no. 2K-2893BW
Engine no. 37610
DVLA/HPI still have it listed as: DAIMLER 5.3 DOUBLE SIX AUTO
Date of Liability: 01 05 1990 / Vehicle Status: Unlicensed
So there is no scrap marker and therefore not part of the Scrappage Scheme.
Registration 2888 AP has also therefore not been placed on retention either...
But. Was there really just the one? Was there a development rolling shell tucked somewhere, missing its front end??
The photo looks like a scan from a film print, sometime in the late nineties?

[quote] can anyone tell me the one off jag raced at swaffham in the mid 90's
[quote] i got the car from wisbech, the man i got it from said it came from peterborugh, he had 2 one with no doors and tailgate and both had no running gear or wings, so i had to buy a doner jag
Thought as much.
Looks like it's all a wind-up...

Wasn't there a long thread about the Jag?
If people want to save classics it's a case of putting your money where your mouth is.

Its funny how people are so quick to tell others what to do with their stuff and yet the NP&E forum is full of rants when the government does the same thing.

Wow, that's a wild assumption! This is pikie motorsport we are talking about
