    Some sort of replica of a Jaguar D-Type - the famous 3-times Le Mans winner in 1955, 56 & 57. There were several companies making replicas. Given the originals are worth upwards of a million, I'd be pretty sure it's a replica and not the real thing. Very nice though and fair play to whoever drives it!

    I think you are right. If he got it from these folks it still cost a few bob : http://www.jaguarreplicas.com/dtype.html

    I remember reading about these in classic car weekly before. I Think they use a 4 litre xj which you supply as a basis for the car.

    Needs properly sized-wheels:D
    IMHO, wheels too wide for a car like that
    just look silly.

    Well with the right kit and bumper that would look pretty good. Such as this:

    I found these two last year while in the UK. They both look like they retired along time ago. I wonder if they could be saved and put back on the roads?

    Have I found a gem? A Citroën BX 4x4 estate

    This one looks to be a Phase II

    I would have loved to take a closer suit but I was in a suit trying to find my way back to civilization.

    90% of the time when I driving for work I come across a lot of old rare stuff, especially in France.

    I'll always have a soft spot for them BX's as a '91 BX was the first car I ever drove! They have aged well imo.
