The owner is deluded if they think it’s worth 80 thousand. It does not matter how much time and effort and money was put into this project, it’s not worth even close to 80 thousand.
I see the current e-bay bid is 6100, that’s more like it.
I wonder what the reserve price is?
If his delusion is consistent, probably close the the buy it now price.
You can hear Sir William Lyons crying..
Hell, I’m crying.
I’m not Jaguar purist but this thing is an absolute abomination.
80K? Not only does the owner have bad taste but he’s a moron as well.
That has to be one of the most hideous cars I have seen. I wouldn’t even buy it at $800!
“The car was built by Peter Harris who has been making custom cars for over 40 years”
Just goes to show – if you’ve been doing it for 40 years, doesn’t mean you are good at it!!!
This is the most Phallic looking car I’ve ever seen!
This car does not look like it will do anything particularly well.
The only cool part left on this car is the serial number plate.
