Does anybody know if there is a company that makes a good quality XJ13 replica body/chassis?
I know Vicarage used to do it, but it was hand beaten out of alloy and cost about £100k - I cannot afford that! Saw an Aston replica racer at Donnington on sunday and the quality (fibre glass) was good enough to make me think I might want to take a stab at building an XJ13, complete with 500hp V12 etc

Anybody got any info?

Wasn't that Lynx or Protheus Engineering (-ish)?
(XJ13 Body would be a nice conversion for Elise/VX220)

Think you might be on the button with Lynx. Not sure my Jag V12 would fit in an Elise chassis though.

What? You mean a sort of 3/4 scale version of one? Rich...
