Cresta/Jaguar Hybrid

[paulnov21]

I thought that maybe jaguar and vauxhall enthusiasts out there may be interested in a project on a Jaguar XJR and Vauxhall PA Cresta hybrid currently being under taken.

It looks a bit like a British version of a batmobile especially if it were black

Blimey! Bit more involved than just nailing a Rover in and bolting on some slot mags

Half expected some posts from Cresta fans up in arms.... But I think it's brilliant!

A real tribute to OP's engineering skills.

Most Cresta fans approve, the original body was beyond economic repair. I've found from experience that changing the floor and bulkhead is the easiest way to do these conversions.

very impressive, I also thought the idea sounded a bit off, until isaw the pictures of what you have done so far, you will end up with a totaly unique and very cool looking car.

I think the concept of keeping the donor car platform is just brilliant. Make sure you bring us the updates.

Love that Victor FB. My father owned a 63 Deluxe, body was white, with a red roof. It would be great to own one again, with modern running gear.

I sold the Victor 4 years ago, the new owner has done over 30,000 trouble free miles in her. I also own a stock FB Victor Super which i have thought about turning into a convertible like the Viva. The only thing stopping me is she's in fantastic condition, i only like to 'modernise' them when they are one foot away from the scrap yard.
