I was blown away this month by the article in Nov '21 edition of Jaguar World (UK) of the PBB Design MONACO. Only about a dozen were built and few survive. If you don't know the car, haven't seen pics (like me) or HATE modifying a Jag from factory-spec but arei curious, check it out and post opinions/comments. My take-away is a fat-bodied coupe with an XJ8 front. I'd love to find a poster if anyone knows a source. Lucky Brits on this forum can see the last one on their roads occasionally, or maybe at an event?

or.

For me, at least. Either go XJS or DB7, but not a steroidal mix of the two.

Apologies, if this was too snarky.

 

Would have better if the designer had a smaller hand.

 

There is a body of one for sale on UK Ebay. Hideous.

 

Greg.....Any contact info on the body available?

Just looked on E bay and of course, cannot find it. If it reappears I'll pm you.

THis is the listing: but it is for an axle, but you could always ask the lister if the body is available. MInd you, it's a long way from Arizona!

Greg,

If you look at the sellers wording on that listing and this one:

jaguar xjs FRONT AXLE COMPLETE a | eBay

It implies that the whole car is for sale as part of that listing.

Would be good to know where it ends up

In the bin, I hope. it is like putting a fatsuit on Audrey Hepburn!

 

To my eye it's bloated and wouldn't get a second look.

 

I just found your post and thought I’d let you know that I am the owner of the car in the article. I was able to complete the car during the Covid Lockdown. I took the car to its first show on Saturday and had a lot of interest due to its unique style.
Thanks for your post.

 

Pics please the one we see isn't great, and doesn't give us enough angles to decide whether to Love it or not??? Striking Yes Love it????

A garage build Miata? Front looks like a Miata and the back looks like Kim Kardashian.

 

Sounds like you have a very interesting car. Congrats on getting it done. Do please post a few more photos, and details of how you did it, particularly how the body was fixed to the monocoque. This is a very friendly forum, and please do not take ill at our teasing about the looks of your car. I do hope you join us regularly, this place has a superb collection of very knowledgeable and helpful people (to which you will be a valuable addition) - for when the inevitable gremlins arrive!

 

YES! Pics please! XJS's have a history of bod mods, and this one is unique.

 

Marmite car, but can see what was being attempted using a 'good' platform ,

coincidently i have a pair of NOS badges for one of these cars.......

Poor taste of design. XK8 front with XJS rear looks like vomit.

 

Welcome to the forums Tornum,

Tough crowd.

I enjoyed discovering the background to PBB Design and how your car evolved. Certainly been a protracted and expensive labour of love completing it. The Loire Blue looks superb.
