Default 2003 XKR turned into an AM Vanquish

For sale on UK eBay. It actually looks quite good - from a distance - although there aren't any pictures of the inside.

8/10 for effort



EDIT: reading through the ad again, I have realised the picture above is of a real Vanquish, or perhaps a completed kit car project. Actually for sale is the unpainted mess in the garage

Both have XJS based floorpans, and depending on who and how the work is completed it should be a very smart car.
That being said, if the wheel spacers, panel gaps and shut lines are out, paint is mediocre then what was the point? To make it look like a real one, time and effort has to match Newport Pagnell works...the bodyman will make or break this project...

Frog, what do you want for yours?
