Apparently though with this ebay SRV12 you only need a rotten Jag a few spare weekends, bish bash bosh and it's done  |
That's why your skills can come in handy when building a replica. Apart from a few items you can replicate most of the parts you need or find parts from other cars that are similar but cheap. EG the wrap around indicator lenses from an SD1, lots of choice for round rear lights from around £30 each. Seats can be found from various sports cars that will do the job. Look at the Tribute range , the Rover seats are a good example in Nubodi 250 demo car.
If you are building a Daytona around a TVR Wedge then you won't be going for a 100% replica anyway.
