This outfit will build you an XK-180 for about the same price as a V6-S. Kind of a poor man's Project 7.

But the F-Type prototype was the C-X16 which is almost identical to the current Coupe. The XK-180 was a concept for the XK back in 1999. Interesting that someone is building one offs of that now and from some research they are built on a donor XJS/XK8/XKR.

For 105,000 Euro ($119k) I'd much rather have a fully optioned R.

If I'm buying a replica, I'd like a C-Type please.

In the meantime, may I direct you attention here:

I'll say! And at the prices listed on their stunning website - along with all those stunning magnificent pictures - they should be. Incredible.

I think it was the Eagle Speedster that Clarkson drove and went berserk over, on the 50th anniversary of the E-type Top Gear.

Yes, they use a quote from him on their website, "It may be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen."
