for looks, a shorten of the trunk length, would be great, less overhang.

the car pictured has a sticker inside glove box that says" this is a 2 seat vehicle", it was done in England,RHD.
Do you have anymore info on this car? I want it!!!

UPDATE - Found it. https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...ter-v12-41703/

Hey Ron - I said "I want it!" My wife said "Forget it!" If I ever get down your way I'll be sure to get n touch. Did you really get all that work done for 30K?

pete i did 95% in my home garage, all body and welding work, 2 part paint, engine building ,transmission building and installation, wiring computors ,suspension mods,rear axle LSD mods, and tuning. plus maney small things cant remember!
like wheel and tire fitment
interior redone by some one else along with the nice wood dash.

30K was a lot of wheelin/dealin,at wholesale costs, if this car was sent out it would be easy 100K, its about boys and there toys, logic or practical is not consisdered!

but for me its a labor of love, and many nights and weekends the wife brought food out to me!

pete thats for fine tuning of the engine, i can actually get 18mpg when cruising.
with the rich/lean knob in the middle of consul glove box,(like a light aircraft), it makes for interesting fun!

when someone asks what is factory stock, i say nothing ,everything is modified, and lately a lot of the new era guys are liking it!

thanks for your interest
