I know you only have a name but could the car have been built/raced in the USA?

Title: Re: SAC#352 :

Right hand drive - so South African?
Title: Re: SAC#352 :
Post by: SACO on January 07, 2013, 12:57:41 AM
European !
Title: Re: SAC#352 :
Post by: D-type on January 07, 2013, 08:14:21 AM
So, Jaguar XK120 rebodied somewhere in Europe.  Not British, not Italian.  But it's right hand drive which rules out most of Europe as more XK120s were made in LHD than RHD.

Could it be from Cyprus?
Title: Re: SAC#352 :
Post by: SACO on January 07, 2013, 09:25:26 AM
It's in a left hand drive country !

Post by: nicanary on July 15, 2013, 05:51:18 AM
I'm getting frustrated with this one. I'm thinking about the actual designated model names - is it an XK120 or an XK120C ? Maybe it was rebodied locally after a race crash.

Ignore the above - it's a stupid question, since I have a book recording the fate of all XKC cars. I just cannot find an image of this car - it seems to be at a classic car meeting or rally of some sort, since it carries a rally plaque, and is standing next to an Edwardian landaulette of some kind. Usually , photos from these meetings finish up on Flickr or similar sites, and then onto Google Images. But there's nothing.

Is your puzzle picture from a French image site ?
Title: Re: SAC#352 :
Post by: SACO on July 15, 2013, 09:21:34 AM
The photo is current , but the car has won French's "races " in the 50s  ;)

Post by: nicanary on July 22, 2013, 10:45:48 AM
I will admit I have been looking for help on this puzzle. I contacted the Jaguar Enthusiasts Club but they could not help - They know about the "Barou Barchetta" and have a French-language reference book about XK specials, but they do not recognise the puzzle car. Oh dear.

I may have to give up this time.

Interesting. All I can come up with is Prototype Speciale Turckheim. It seems a bit unlikely.

It could stand for Papeterie Schwindenhammer Turckheim, the company led by Jacques Schwindenhammer.
