Title: Jag coupe thing Post by: Manky Monkey on March 03, 2008, 11:58:07 AM Dave-Postie & I spotted this in the carpark of the NSRA swapmeet over the weekend.
What's going on here then? What twisted imagination conceived this? Looks like an old mark 2 Jaguar, (think Inspector Morse's car), with the rear window fitted as a front screen & home-made soft top. Title: Re: Jag coupe thing Post by: Manky Monkey on March 03, 2008, 12:02:03 PM Rear doors have presumably been welded up. There's a huge bonnet scoop, but also side vents as well as grilles on the extended bootlid. Does that mean it's rear engined?
Imaginative, but very odd. :) Title: Re: Jag coupe thing Post by: VALLEYSBOY on March 03, 2008, 12:09:41 PM yeah saw that in yer pics i think its horrible what a waste of a good car..well if u like Jags

Title: Re: Jag coupe thing Post by: Hillbilly Deluxe on March 03, 2008, 02:54:55 PM that could have turned out soooo coool,but i think the builder was in modify everything mode,apart from the screen which imo is horrid,if it was'nt all scoops and bonnet gubbins i think it would bee good,10-10 effort,2-10 taste,20-10 imagination/drug intake ;D
Title: Re: Jag coupe thing Post by: VALLEYSBOY on March 03, 2008, 02:56:32 PM Quote drug intake :D god help me thenTitle: Re: Jag coupe thing Post by: Hillbilly Deluxe on March 03, 2008, 03:00:33 PM im sure i dont know what you mean,i dont remember TAKING any drugs, ;D ;D
Title: Re: Jag coupe thing Post by: Manky Monkey on March 03, 2008, 03:45:15 PM Anyone remember John Steed's gorgeous XJ12C Jag in The New Avengers?
Title: Re: Jag coupe thing Post by: Manky Monkey on March 03, 2008, 03:51:48 PM The TV car was, of course, a road-going replica of the Jaguar XJ12C racers developed by Broadspeed for British Leyland between 1976-1978.
Title: Re: Jag coupe thing Post by: VALLEYSBOY on March 03, 2008, 04:07:42 PM yeah i remember them :) classic :)

Wonder if he races it? Title: Re: Jag coupe thing Post by: Manky Monkey on March 21, 2008, 11:06:00 PM Look what we spotted at the Wheelsday show near Aldershot today.
