Strange Jaguar replica

[lowdrag]

I was called out to examine a D-type replica with a view to helping the man get it registered in France. To cut to the chase he hasn't any chance of that, but the car is weird and something I have definitely never seen before. So I turn to the PH collective to see if we can get some information. No head rest, four louvres, a bizarre chassis which has broken welds all over the place underneath. Can someone help please?
