Lovely - how few were made?
Not only is it unique, it's also the last HWM ever made.It was designed as a road car by George Abecassis, with a body drawn by Frank Feeley.

The HWM has hints of Lamborghini 350GT.
That Bertone Pirana looks like a mix between a Ghibli and an Espada. If only Jaguar had the guts back then!
Guyson E12: Jensen Healey gone all wrong . . . Bits of TR7 in there.

I can see why all of these are rare, without exception they are uglier than the car they were based on <shudder>.
I don't go a bundle on most of them, but I quite like the Ghia XK's, but you can forget the Zagato one. I'd still chose a Sir William original, but I'm glad the Ghia ones exist.LotusOmega375D said:

Please don't insult my intelligence by saying that the XJ-S looked better...

I don't think you can say that about this one. It's a Zagato XK140 - it's been doing the rounds this year and I saw it at Hampton Court, stunning! http://www.classicdriver.com/en/article/cars/how-z...
