Locost Group Buy - Jaguar C-Type
I have a plan to secure the finest looking car ever built, all I need is 800 Locosters to commit to a spend of £1500 each.
This will secure you an 800th share- which equates to a daily use of the car for around 45 minutes.
I will scrap the Fiat and provide my heated garage to store the car, and provide full delivery services to the syndicate @ £10 per trailer mile, UK
& Europe.
Just add your name to the list below -

yes but it does have "original" and rare track rod ends, they must be worth £500,000 each atleast,...!

As an apprentice in a local garage, on our down time we re-shelled a 63 3.8 E-type , the horrible arsehole owner bought a brand new chassis, the
numbers from the rusty car were transferred. And eventually the rustbucket morphed into a stunning immaculate E-Type ........
personally Ive seen some really sick cars, jigged properly and put back to work. If the guys doing it are good, then theres no problem.
C-types rock - and the next car on my list will be an Ultima or C-Type (triple webers mmmm)

If a car goes into a wall at 60mph - pancakes the front end and needs a re-shell, all the bits get moved across onto a new chassis, it makes the car
non original, doesnt make it a ringer.
A debate ensues....
My charming boss sold the 63 E-type for big bucks, no mention of ringers.

No debate on the re-shelled car - that's the law as it's a repair in the eyes of the DVLA.
The bent shell can't, legally, be made into another car without having an IVA etc. these days. BUT pre SVA all you needed was an MOT and to
fill in the DVLA forms to make a 'new' car so back then it was quite legal to do that (with the minor exception of a potential fraud if it
was passed off as a real E type).

I'd rather have one of these (Suffolk SS100 - Jaguar SS100 replica)
They're made about 20 miles from where I live, and I see one or two occasionally... shame I can't afford to build one... (around £35K,
apparently, if you want to do a good job).

Lovely car!!!
A guy a few miles from my folks' place, amongst his collection, has a genuine XKSS. Gulp, a bit rare.

Any excuse to dig this old photo from my archive!

And I have just spoilt yours as I have decided that I no longer wish to sell it in one piece... it will be dismantled in the morning and sold in
pieces.
£100 the lot anyone (+ £30 UK P&P)?
It's Evolution Baby!
