Saw this today, apparently a kit car as DVLA has it listed with a 5.3 litre engine, so assume its got an American V8 instead of the 4.4 litre V12 it had originally. For a replica its a good looking one, but I admit to having rose tinted specs for these as the hardtop version was the best car in Top Trumps when I was growing up.

5.3 litres sounds like a Jag V12. I wouldn't be surprised if it's got full Jag underpinnings. They're very popular with kit car/hot rod/replica people due to the modular nature of the subframes.

Ah OK, good stuff. Don't know why I didn't think of a Jag for a 5.3, especially as an hour after seeing that I saw this V12. These have grown on me over the years, don't like the spoiler tho, and I have to admit it looks better dressed as a 365.
