Hi, I am a newby and no experience with kits. My midlife crisis involved a beautiful XJS which has rot issues underneath but is mechanically sound. Excellent donor car.
Question is does anybody know a good kit to use her in ??

Google Jaguar based kit cars, and you'll see several.

Depends on what you're after.

If you want old-skool there are D type and XK kits always advertised in the kit car magazines.

But if you fancy something a bit more modern then there is always the stunning XK180 replica! http://www.xk180.com/

I'd looked at that 180 a few years ago and saw one partially built at a local independent jag garage. It is very pretty!
