when I was in the 3rd form at highschool , I did a big painting of the Bugatti 35 for my English teacher. She was a lovely lady, and I knew that she and her husband had a vintage car , so I thought the Bug would make a nice subject for an and of year "thank you" present. She looked at it , screwed her eyebrows up , and said "its a shame you drew it with those artillery wheels on it" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was probably in love with her. Self Psychoanalysis ( which is probably right up there with do-it-yourself Brain Surgery) might suggest that this unrequited love is the deep-seated cause of my wheel angst

That really is a very nice looking car. The design is great and the dimensions just match which must be very difficult with not having CAD or clay models and being restricted by the scrapyard parts. You must have had and may still have a busy live and your output is unbelievable with making 7 of those cars, the xj6c, the XK and the other cars. Please keep posting

These cars look fantastic v12turbo I love the inspiration from rather than being a replica of something. The lines look good, and now I've got another car on the list of things I'd like to own but doubt I ever will, what with there being 7 of them!! Please feed us more of your photos and cars these are exactly the sort of things the forum was built for and we would never ever have seen if it wasn't for your willingness to share.

Great build thread 👍 Having dabbled in fibreglass/carbon moulds myself in the past I can appreciate the time involved in a built like this and that's without taking into consideration the chassis and drive train
You are obviously a man of many talents/skills and it shows in the end result The lines and propositions are spot on
