mine is an imperial specialist vehicle jackal saloon hardtop, chassis 7800121, ordered and built by myself in 1987 and delivered personally by peter fairhurst just as the company went into receivership , i was one of the lucky (or not ) ones as i got a body and chassis whilst other people paid and got nothing,i paid for all the seats and upholstery panels but were not included in my delivery so i got in touch with the original upholsterer and paid again ,
no instructions either so i worked blind but that was half the fun of it,
mine is on vauxhall magnum suspension with the 2.3 brakes,custom made springs ,gas spax adjustables,
engine is a tuned RS2000 with a kent cam and twin 40 webers thro a sierra 5 speed box, it has been used most summers since 1987 and has 15,000mls on it,in all that time it let me down once ,the inline fuse for the electric fan corroded a bit and it did not cut in, it was soon sorted,
i,ve seen that one on e bay ,last i seen it was up to £5600,it is also on another site for £11995,
apart from the demonstrator i tried out at the factory in susans road i,ve only seen one other and that was at the peterborough show in 1983 and that belonged to roy hindley from reading, he originally tried to format an owners register ,
we kept in touch for a while but he eventually sold his and he has regretted it ever since,
i think the man that formatted the register that i have was terry scott, from where i don,t know ,
i would love to send pics but don,t know how to do it, can you take me through the process,
my colour is silver over charcoal, and is still the gel coat ,never been painted yet,red upholstery and an old wardrobe door in walnut veneer adapted to fit for the dash,
got 7x15 wheels with 195x15 yokohamas, i,ve also got a full set of 6x13 k and n diamonds for it with 205 60 13 firestone firehawks but i think it runs too low with them on, although i can put a set of spacers under the rear spring seats to alter the ride height,
exhaust is a custom fit by myself in stainless with a small box after the janspeed manifold then a tail box by custom chrome, a diver i think they call it
