It did appear in a 1970s British magazine (possibly Hot Car, though not 100% sure) and it is Jaguar-based, although I'm not sue what a CK chassis is! Now Locked to you for 48 hours to find out who made it and what it was called.

X is next to C on most keyboards, so maybe he means to type XK?

Was it a 'special' named after the builder (e.g., "Djetset Special")?
