    Hi!

    I collect images from Bertone concept cars. One of Bertone lost cars is Jaguar Pirana. I know and have only few images from this car and all are from internet. I have search where is this car now. I thought the museum by Jaguar. But I realy dont know the fakt is that this car is not by Stile Bertone. The photos I have found are from picasa web site. Please if someone know where is this lost car now and who is owner let me know. And please if someone have images or magazine scans about this car upload them.

    First four images are original from 1967 next images are new from now.

    Looks like a blend of an Etype and an Espada. Definitely not a production car.

    Too bad the steering wheel is on the wrong side.

    Kind of cool but imagine the performance of an Espada with a 6 cylinder in it instead of a V-12.

    A couple of points. It has none of the chassis or unibody design aspects that an Espada does. It's probably aluminum so considering that I'd guess it weighs a lot less. I see it more like an alternate design for a later E Type coupe than an Espada.

    The 4.2 Jag motor is actually a little bigger than the Lamborghini V12.

    I'm not suggesting a race but a 4.2 Etype with the triple SU carbs has nothing to apologize for.

    Due to its unique pedigree, it is a very good candidate for "Elegance Concours" or more specific exhibitions like "Villa d'Aoste" or "Goodwood festival"...

    Not a maintenance nightmare because the Jag 6 is bullet proof and reliable. If you look closely, this car is built on an E-type chassis, drivetrain, suspension, etc., so everything (except the body) is bulletproof, tested, and reliable stuff.

    I can see it on the grass at Pebble Beach one day.

    After a couple hundred thousand $ have been spent on it.

    not sure for couple hundred $$$... I thing half of it will be far enough in Europe...a friend of mine had his E Type fully restored for 52.000 € or $70.200...cheaper than what I'm spending in my Islero...

    I'll be amazed if it brings that much. On closer inspection, even the lower sheet metal is all Jag! This is just an E-type with a custom body! That is all. So you are paying for the one-off body. At least we know it will drive well and is fast because it is an E-type under the skin.

    That is all? What is wrong with that? It's a custom bodied and I presume prototype for a different Jag. I can't see how well the construction been executed but I find it very appealing and clearly a part of the Espada design history. I'll admit that I haven't seen it in person and maybe after seeing it and sitting in it (If I even fit) I might be less impressed.
    Lot's of design prototypes are like that though.

    I don't know how significant this is to Jaguar history but it certainly is relevant to the Espada's history. Given the Jag running gear that makes it a strange case yes?

    Oh yeah, kind of like that recently discussed Jota or the Miura roadster but then again who do you send this car to for such a restoration? There's zero Lamborghini in it.

    Theres an "originality" kick gong on these days so this could be shown with minimal effort as a display only entrant in some "Italian coachwork" or prototype class at Pebble, then restored and shown again for judging at a later date. I believe rules allow for same owner to show the same car in this fashion.
