The speed and handling of this beautiful car is only surpassed by its impeccably prepared polished aluminum exterior. The body panels are all alloy. The roll cage is built to FIA specifications. The car was purchased in the UK. It was then prepared by the Jaguar factory, but when the owner was ready for further development, he turned the car over to Gordon Brown of Red Rose Racing.
