Chasseur No.001 / ebay germany

[Jaguarsport]

Jaguarsport - I agree, however I want to do it properly, and keep the chassis number.

What you need is an XJ40 sized "repair panel" to weld to the inner wing with the chassis number on it. If this Jag sized repair panel is the same variant/year/colour then all the better. If your going to have to put loads of new metal in anyway then what's the difference really?

Plenty of classic out there that have been re-shelled and re-engined multiple times yet are somehow the same car. Ship of Theseus, etc.

agree, it will be easy enough to cut out and weld in the original vin stamp on the inner right wing, and also the body number plaque from the rear end, then no one can say, its not the proper car.

also agree, just look for the best condition body 86-89 car, so that everything is in the right place.
in the uk, this wouldn't be too difficult but no idea how easy it is to find a good condition early model in your county?

Chasseur is part time v12
haha - I have double fuelrail. I suppouse, that the second is for higher rpm's where 3.6 need a lot of fuel. So I found something looks like the original ecu + added computer for probably the second fuel rail or to integrated the second one with the regular one. It looks like a piggyback - I think this overdrive ECU + manage the second fuel rail.
For sure is made by Turbotechnics

I just come back to jag business so I'll visit Germany many times... I let you know when I'll be near Hamburg

naki_k - well. I bought over 30 Jags in UK, over 20 in West Europe and ony ONE in Poland. I know that is verry hard to understand, but please try. In Poland we have a real artist in mechanic, body work, and electronic. Only one car in every 100 you can buy got correct milage, correct engine, front and back was made in the same day in the factory.
Brilliant x308 long can have a whole back welded from XJR x300... incl rear suspension, cd changer even the boot inside panels are fron xjr. The diff is from xjr, rear antiroll everything. Ofcourse only 160 kkm on the clock
That's the Poland. That's why I don't buy car in Poland. You can here fix everything, produce everything in real good quality. I mean real. It's a fantastic country to make a restoration, but not to buy a car. We have some good classic, but xj40 it's not a real classic in Poland. Not yet, so most are in horrible condition.

It's possible to registered in UK a car which have the permanent export certificate.

cut n' shut paradise, by all accounts
