You could end up with many different mixes and have dozens of different models.
I keep looking at this version of the z300 rear I have even found an easy way way to do it
Grr I need to choose a design and stick with it

How about mating the SWB and the Zagato front end, painting it the right colour and some nice jag wires?

Very nice, looking more like an Evanta GT or Zagato Aston.

I did speak to Chris about doing just that.

But the door panels and door handles mean that its not as quick a job.

I do not have anywhere to build - but I can bolt the front and rear on in my car park

This would be a rather nice car to have built, saw it down at Goodwood a couple of years back. It's an MPH Jaguar

it has mini grille shape but its proportions are different
maybe a mini that's had 8" sectioned out of the body


The shape is purposeful like the cobras
and read back through this thread we have discussed citreons merging with 911 so im sure we can all see past the mini similarity

What are the next generation of donor cars likely to be . I'm sure the BMW Z4 is on the cards There must be others coming up to 10 years old or so and affordable with bolt on / off panels.
