Mate, I love the Broadspeed Jags! in fact anything Broadspeed, more power to you, get some pics up here with any build photo's you have, personally and it is only my preference I would love to have a broadspeed Jag like they did for the New Avengers for Steed...showing my age but that is just a state of mind!

That is just too cool....70's Jag coupes are soooo cool but Broadspeed's (replica's or real) just take it to a much higher level!

are you going for the Leyland racing livery as well or something different?
either way I am sure it's going to look fantastic when it's finished.

I remember a thread about your Broadspeed coupe on xj40.com in 2010 which touched on the huge and painstaking research you have done for this car. It is a hugely ambitious project, but worth it!

I had the pleasure of working on Steed's car in the eighties when I used to install car stereos for a living. It was in the process of being restored. I wonder where it is now? |

Hi Mitch,
I've been following your progress across on Jag-lovers and on your site for a while. Can we expect to see some regular upates on here?
squonk... Steeds car has supposedly been seen a couple of times on the M6 this week.
Regards,
Rich

 and in a big way!!! And I'm daunted by the rust on my van! I clearly need to 'man up'  I love the coupe's, personally I'd like one that was somewhere in the middle, but the Broadspeeds are such mental looking cars they have to be one of the best Jags out there! Winner all round. And welcome of course and thanks for sharing. |

I believe the "Steed " Jag is sitting neglected in some guys garage disintegrating fast. He flatly refuses to sell it to anyone  |

It's looking amazing, really really good. This is one of my all time favorite cars and if my Coupe ever looks this smart i'll be very happy!!
What engine/suspension are you using on it, is it going to be as authentic underneath as on the top...modified arms, uprated brakes, diff cooler in the rear arch etc??
Are you using a 5.4 litre engine with the modified injection and 4 speed box, and what sot of power are you aiming for??
One last question, have you decided on wheels yet, have you managed to find some of the original style ones?
I can't wait to see this progress!!

I don't know what BBS from a Corvette you have, but I would really like to see some BBS Rennsport/Motorsport wheels on this one! Great car!
