Anyone ever bought one and run it as a track day machine?

I suppose the nearest equivalent would be a Radical but prefer the big V6 in the Jag to a bike engine.

Curious roughly how much one of those is fetching, I assume from the name they are solely made for Jonathan Palmer for his experience days?

Depending how much you're looking to spend this looks like a ridiculous track day machine;

That Radical looks mighty fine. Really very very tempting..!

Budget is roughly £50K tho which is what I am led to believe those Palmer Jags were selling for,

One was on race cars for sale several months back for 20k but needed general tidy up, I was beaten to it.

Happy hunting

i bought a radical sr8 rolling chassis - complete car less drivetrain - earlier in the year for just over £3k. i have since bought a hewland ftr transaxle and will be fitting either the jag v6 or a 1.6 duratec. both very different propositions but should be similar output. hoping to build it to a very high spec. for around £20k. worth considering if you can drop onto a bargain sr3 with a blown engine.
