#1 Hello From LA and the one and only unique LDR Jaguar -- Video :)

Hi everyone! I've had a rather unique and special Jaguar for about a decade now. She's heading back to the Quail event his August for her second showing and I realized I'd never shared her with folks on the Jaguar forums.

I'm biased of course, but to me she's a most beautiful feline! She's what we call the "Low Drag Roadster" and if a Jaguar D-Type and the Locker-Lindner Low Drag Coupe ever had an offspring, she'd be it!

I created a Facebook page that has lots of photos of this car. I'll post the address here and I hope folks like what they see :) https://www.facebook.com/WorldsMostBeautifulJaguar/

When Jaguar North America wanted to do a commercial to unveil their at the time secret F-Type SVR, their most powerful production car to date, they called and said they considered using a D-Type and a C-Type and chose my car. Needless to say, I was extremely happy, humbled and flattered.

Sadly, the producer and director had a huge falling out and the hour or so of amazing footage disappeared, leaving only this video:


The sound in the background at the end is my car. She weighs about 2100 pounds and makes around 340 hp. She's a beast off the line and likes to cruise at illegal speeds thanks to the five speed gearbox! Cheers!

So, it's yet another special, but I am sorry, it doesn't please me. The detailing is horribly fussy, the rivets look very amateurish and spoil the lines, - and do they have any purpose? - and I haven't the faintest idea what the supposed connection with the Lindner/ Nocker is

How about some photos of what lies beneath the bonnet?

Surely if it’s reminiscent of a Lindner/Knocker the steering wheel should be on the right side not on the wrong side :bigrin:
