Jazzbass 1 Report post Posted July 7, 2005 Actually its for a trike!! I have a friend who builds V12 Jaguar trikes and he intends to do it for a living soon. I was suggesting he consider building a BMW offering also, to increase his potential client base, so he's keeping an eye out for one. Generally, he buys Jaguar XJS V12s which have rusted badly and therefore are worth bugger all. Then he strips the donor engine, gearbox and dash parts and builds the trike around them. He can get an rusted Jag for less than $2k. He has his first finished, but he's not yet road-legal, although it has been on road many times ;-) He's just come back from USA, where he's found great interest in his product, so I'm guessing the $US will be dictating where many of his trikes end up. Awesome machines - I can arrange a viewing if anyone is in Palmy area and wants to have a nosey! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jazzbass 1 Report post Posted July 8, 2005 For anyone who wants to see the trike, drop me an email ~ fenderbass@bigfoot.com ~ and we'll jack up a visit. Believe me - it is AWESOME - Pete is a mechanical artist!! How would you like 12 chrome exhausts, no mufflers, hanging out of the back of your beast??? If there's enough want to have a squiz we'll jack it up for next weekend? Cheers Roger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
