Now that's an incredibly pretty car.
Looks similar to the MEV Replicar.
They bought one on Chasing Classic Cars on Discovery. They went racing it up a hill climb. They have a lot of nice cars on that program. I think it packed in if I recall, but they got it going again? Head gasket maybe on the Coventry climax engine.

D type jag? looks almost identical to me... sure there's a few D type kits about?
Shame there isn't a modern engine as short as the Climax. The Replicar bonnet sits too high for me.
I guess you could use a flat 4?

I'm building a Ribble, all it needs is a rebody inspection to check that the chassis is unaltered and the engine number matches the V5. An amazingly the inspection is the sum total of....wait for it......Free, yes you heard right, a service from DVLA that's free! wont last :-)

Is this still true - I thought there were some new MOT regs that say "if it don't look like a duck, and don't quack like a duck, then it ain't a duck!" ?
Nice... and free too! Blimey. I'd better go for a lie down.
