I Came Across This On The British V8 Site.

I came across this on the Britishv8 site. GRP over a homemade plywood mold. I like the shape.It would look good with a MK1 bumper. It's a Jag v12 drive train in a mostly remade chassis.

I find the wheels horrific, but a Jaguar V12? In a Spitfire?!

 

The Jag V12's huge! The distributor's as big as my hand!!!

[motov8id]

the number of people with over the top creation on the web is endless

A v12??? Bet it weighs alot. Good luck at the first corner. Maybe its a drag car? Each to there own.

 

Chris.

All aluminium block and heads I think Chris. Never done any work on ours.

 

 

Having said that I imagine probably still pretty heavy!!!

[motov8id]

I like his front valance any opinions? also the v12 is 5.3L iron block alloy heads. Weighing 700 lbs. I think the metric equivalent is 57 stones. that's heavy

I like the way you've converted from imperial to imperial

 

But yeah, f-ing heavy!!!

[pomwah]

About half the weight of an early spit. 318kg.

I think the handling characteristics of a car with the top of the cage being equal to the top of the carb intake will be interesting to say the least.

Visibility?

front heavy?

Cooling issues?

I like the really bad ass look, love the front valance as well.

But lets just say I'm glad my wallet will not be in charge of sorting out the driveablity issues.

I don't think anyone could doubt this car will be FAST in a straight line.

Like Chris, I would not look forward to entering turn 1.
