I really have no idea, but it looks like it could be an old prototype Jag.

It appears to be rh drive, so that would make one lean towards the Brits, and it does have some styling characteristics of an E-Type coupe.

 

A long one??

 

Is that a Bugatti Type 57 Atlantic?

 

i really don't know but i'll guess it's a recent construction based on xk jaguar components and bodied to reflect a bugatti atlantic/pourtout talbo..as i'm the proud owner of an early kougar i can appreciate the effort...pretty cool.

[big giveaway are the 15" jag wheels and rudge hubs.]

DBW,

Thanks for the info. This site is amazing for getting information fast.

 

Extend the front fenders a bit more and add a prop and you have a WWII plane.

 

What's the price? Over $70,000 US I imagine.

 

At first I thought it looked too long, but now maybe not. I would like to see one in person, looks intriguing.

 

So now we know; very 'campy'.

I knew there was a Jag in there somewhere, the original had a 3.4L Jag engine.

 

If it had a hand formed aluminum body instead of "plastic" it might be something.

The problem with this and other "Neo-Classic" cars is that they look better before you buy them than they do after you explain to people a thousand times that, "it's not an old car", "it's not a kit car", "it's a limited production car with a fiberglass body and a Chevy engine".

Back in the 70's I thought the Excaliber was pretty hot and I know a guy with several Clenets and a Zimmer (Whew! what is he thinking?).

Regardless how well built the car is usually it's hard to resell it for even a fraction of what it cost.

 

In retrospect, they look like Pimpmobiles!

Though I must admit, when the Excaliber first came out in the 60s, I almost bought one, but bought an E-Type Jag instead (the 'Instant Poverty' car)!

 

I just received an e-mail back from Devaux. The price is approximately $135,000 US with an eight month build time. There is a coupe and a convertible in the que that will be coming to the States. Here is what the convertible will look like.

I think the coupe is the way to go...

 

I have another one for you. Any ideas?

That one looks along the same lines as the first one posted but more modern and less alien looking.
