Si_GTi Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Spotted this little gem at about midday on the way to pick up my new TV from Comet The VW van in front has got a tow-rope hooked up to the green racer in front of my car. Lucky for me the lights changed and I got a chance to get this shot with the phone! Also, link to high-res: Looks jaguar-ish, but my best guess is that it's some kind of kit car replica? It wasn't running anyway, so no idea what might be under the hood Still cool though, even though it's a non-runner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorburn Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 D-Type I think..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ari Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Yup, D Type. Lot of replicas out there so may not have been a real one. Smart though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si_GTi Posted July 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Yup, in Shrewsbury waiting at the lights at Meole Island! I followed it from the Old Potts Way island at 20mph all the way (it's a bunch of short 60-limit sections and roundabouts), most people were overtaking it but I wanted a better look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazdot Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 I thought it was a D type, but the RAC say it is:- Vehicle details Manufacturer Jaguar Model 'E' TYPE Body type sports Colour Green Fuel type Petrol Date manufactured 31 December 1962 Number of previous owners 4 Last owner change 29 May 2001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorburn Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 I didn't think the D-Type was sold as a road car so it could be a racer made road legal but the RAC's system can't recognise D-Types so its recorded as an E-Type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazdot Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Makes sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ari Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Or it could be a rebodied E-Type. If you wanted to make the best replica D-Type you could, an E-Type would be about the best starting point I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiftyPence Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 that programme with that Mark bloke on the Discovery channel rebuilding an E-Type was pretty cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
