Wildcat E-Type Low Drag coupe kit car

Spotted this JPR Wildcat E-Type low drag coupe for sale.

I think there were about 3 of these low drag style coupe Wildcats made, though some have been modified or custom made.

I remember this same Wildcat for sale in the 2014 Wildcat club magazine for just 12k. I've seen a much nicer example than this one. I think the rear looks awful compared to the real McCoy, and the ride height is too high.

I wouldn't say £400 quid but I wouldn't say 40 grand either. Considering this same car was for sale in 2014 for 12k and now for 40k that's one big price jump. There are better examples out there, there's a silver one which used to be owned by the bloke who bought the Wildcat roadster I sold two years ago that was my late fathers. The silver one looked really stunning.

On eBay U.K. at the moment there are 3 useable road register e types all under £40k, there’s even a white lhd v12 roadster for £48k. Why buy a poor, unfinished kit car when you can buy a genuine e type for less?

I think half the E-Types sub 40k are just project cars that aren't the money they are asking for, and anything half decent will be upwards of 60k, or 2+2s that noone really wants.

And also a kit car will be much cheaper to run of course.

It may be god awful (to some), but at least it runs and isn't a rust buckets like more original E-Types would be at that price, and if it's not rusty it soon would be. OTT price it is considering it was for sale a few years ago for 12 grand (I think it's been for sale numerous times over the years). Found the same car for sale on the Jaguar classifieds website.
