Thought you guys might like to see this. Went up to work on the racing Jag today and brushed the dust off of my friends replica, it's pretty cool. Cost ££££ to build and is fully MOT'd!

Details to follow if you're interested

Yes wheel is being changed, powered by a 4.0 AJ6, underneath is spotless. Custom everything, including the gauges. Based on an XJS. Not sure where the kits form, only 10 were ever sold and huge amounts of work were involved to get it to all fit and pass VOSA inspections

There was one of these parked up near us on Houx campsite at Le Mans this year. XJS based from memory and very nice too.

Jepe specials are building another one! Can be built on a XJS or a XKR platform!

That's awesome!

I had a model of this car when I was younger. Loved the double-bubble engine cover continued over the windscreen. Always wondered how it would ever have a sealed roof / soft top though!

Seriously cool, have you any more pics?

I saw that too, but out in the wild around the entry to the Porsche curves parking - is this the same car OP?

It's only been out once or twice so not sure where it may have been spotted.
