What?... no sva?

Would have thought fitting the interior first before the paint job a good start.

But saying that, the tuned engine stands out more with the added benefit that it does not need an sva.... eyes wool over! JMHO

Have seen that one before.

It dosen't look like a Dax chassis as the radius arms going to the rear axle are in completely the wrong place to work properly.

The transmission tunnel looks very AK'ish.

Won't need an SVA but it's registered as a Jaguar. Not good.

I'm pretty sure I contacted this seller last time and put him right on the info he was giving.....In one ear and out of the other, it would seem.
It is a shame he has had it painted , cos I wouldn't value it over £2000 as it is.

100% NOT an AK! It would never have been allowed to see the light of day with panel fit and a bonnet like that!

Hi Chris

Sorry if you thought I meant it was an AK. Clearly not as the body shape looks wrong.

Maybe it's one of the early exchange and mart Dax bodies on a home built chassis?
Hard to tell from the photos.

Bit steep at £6K though

Craig.

What an ar$ehole.

He's in the business of van sales, but is "no expert" when it comes to recognising a Rover V8. I really do hope we don't see some poor bugger turning up here having spent good money on that POS.

Fraudulent sale IMHO.

Id love to know who tuned the engine look at the state of it, they obviously replaced all the dust and crap once it was tuned I see.

Il bet someone bids on it though hey.

Amazing, in pictures 10 and 11 it first morphs into a Merc SL and then into a stretched Hummer. What a versatile car!

Definitely not a Dax. The chassis looks more Sumo like with rails either side of the engine bay?

I might be over curious, but the language of the question at the bottom is the same as the answer.... hmm, I wonder

I don't mean English either
