The base make should be relatively easy but I also need the model it was based on and who built it for the point.

Time for a clue.....

It's known as the xxxxxx Jaguar Special.
The surname of the owner fits the missing ~~five~~ letters. SIX letters.....

Jones?

Not Jones but a fairly well-known British name....
Apologies - the surname is six letters but you're in the right half of the alphabet.

Another point for you.

Here's the original article -

Was it Fraser (as in the title of the article) or Francis (as its author)?

woodinsight · « **Reply #24 on:** April 04, 2013, 03:15:13 AM »

Was it Fraser (as in the title of the article) or Francis (as its author)?

I believe that Francis was a misprint in my source.....
