Yes!
Will lock it for you for 24 hours to find out the full facts.

Carnut - Thanks for holding it for me.
Unfortunately I haven't got any further with it - a case of I know the car but can't find it at the moment.
Please unlock it for anyone else to have a guess.

It's a LaDawri Castilian, I believe built by Carl Tate

Carnut · September 07, 2010, 11:43:58 AM

Well, yes and no.
That's not the answer I'm looking for.
Certainly the body used either is one of those or is closely related, but that's not what this car is - it's based on something else. What?

barrett · September 07, 2010, 12:12:03 PM

Is it Carl Tate's car? If so then I believe it had C-Type Jaguar internals.

No, it's not Carl Tate's car.
It does have Jaguar internals, but not C-Type!

That's it!
It is a LaDawri-bodied Jaguar XK140.
Very good.

I've read somewhere that this particular is a TR3 based car. The Jaguar based looks slightly different
