There are few bits of fifties exotica as elegant as the Jaguar D-Type. It’s one of the ultimate expressions of, ‘if it looks right, it probably is right.’ They are… quite expensive though. There is actually an example of a continuation D-Type for sale at the moment… but as it’s POA, it’s likely to be a bit on the spendy side.

Don’t worry though; British ingenuity has come to the rescue, with this loving homage based on a Mazda MX-5. I’m sure you’ll all agree that the resemblance is uncanny…












I’m sure that this superbly crafted object d’art will fetch a sum that truly reflects what a tremendous devce it is. And the Mazda will probably get a few quid bunged at it too.

That blue one can get in the fucking bin. The silver one though…:star_struck::smiling_face_with_three_hearts::star_struck::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

All the carbuncular bits aren’t even doing anything, someone put them there as an aesthetic choice :face_with_spiral_eyes:

Talking of a homage, one of only 11 made, Ferrari got the major hump and it all went legal.

I had a good look over it fit and finish was absolutely superb.

Also for sale @ £88k

Hard to imagine why Ferrari would be pissed-off with an MG-B based kit car fake. Roughly £75,000 more than its worth, too…

It’s actually based on a BMW chassis and running gear.

They have previous for that.

The kit looks great. They’ve done a lovely job. That said, I’m not in favour of plastering the car in Ferrari badges and pretending it is something that it is not.

As cheesy and tragic as a fake Rolex :poop:

Was always surprised they didn’t go after Rover

I would have guessed at the (newer) Fiat 124

Coincidentally there was a TV program a few weeks ago featuring another one of the eleven built.

Finished in red. I found it a really interesting watch particularly the owners prospective

I think it may have been on Quest.
