Looks like an old Jag to me with the front part missing. Mark X perhaps? Although the indicator has moved. scratchchin

Agreed. Definitely has the look of a MkX/420G.

The Hannibal Lecter restyle does it no favours however.

I thought Mk X were wider/lower than that looks, to me at least. This looks more upright.

Jag 420, same size as the S-Type but with the MkX /420G style front end.

Was difficult to get the photo, as pulled up on the road outside the house.
It looks like a Jag certainly, but it’s a 2 door coupe-style body, looked similar to a Karman Ghia, from the restricted view as approaching.
Probably a homemade mix of Karman Ghia& Jag.

Not sure what it is, but pretty sure it’s not any kind of Jag. Accepting it’s a home build front end, but light spacing, bonnet, width/height ratio all wrong.

Looks like the creator at some point had in mind a Rolls Royce radiator grille to crown his creation, judging by the shape of the chrome trim at the front. But tbf the temporary home made bird box looks almost as good.

Unfinished project, 99% there, all the hard work done, just needs finishing etc.

Looks lie the sort of car Marvin the paranoid android would drive.

Going by the profile of the wheel arch and the windscreen shape, it looks like a ruined Karmann Ghia to me. Why anyone would do that to one is another matter.

hehe Yes it just looks unhappy. Justifiably!
