a friend sent me this pic and asked if I would know anything about it to be honest, I've never seen, read or heared about this one before
does anybody else here know something about this ... hmmm ... "thing"
It looks like a variation on the Jaguar X12 (not sure about the model) that was a racing exercise at the end of the XKE series... I've seen pics of it but can't nail it down right now. Nice lines!

Very elegant lines. Wonder why its so long in the tail; aerodynamics, design element, or functionality?
I think they're going for a later-day Jaguar XK-13?
That's the one I was looking for, thanks!

Looks like maybe a 6 with some stacks sans aircleaner in the back window

I've got some other pictures of it at home and who it was built by (West Coast USA). Definately built on a 914.
That Picture that Wolfgang posted came out of an issue of Panomera (probably 8-10 years ago)

really did you see the engine ??
Did you see the windshield and dash and cowl area?
I used to get a lot of glass from Mark. That kinda confirmed my Getty link suspicion. Mark would occasionally have various bits for sale in the back of Pano as a private sale in Pano. They were really good quality. I got all my RS pieces from him and the hoods for my 914 from him.
