gte4289_36 Unidentified Jaguar Special
« on: November 01, 2018, 05:12:25 PM »
This photo of what appears to be a modified Jaguar Mk VII was taken at a car show in New York sometime in the 1950s. This is all I know. I will award a point to anyone who can provide verifiable information about the car and the party responsible for its bodywork.

It's not there, but I would not be surprised if that's his work.
I'll try somewhere else.

It was on display at Watkins glen 51 52 initially as a fairly std car but later further modified
I can tell you the chassis number and I can tell you where it is today but am not allowed to do so
I don't believe it was European coachbuilder but US co the owner a Mr Kunz ?
see my Jaguar Archives facebook posting on the car.

The question is where did the pic come from showing modified nose which is how it is today?

Thank you for this! The least I can do is give you a point for your contribution.

By the way, posting links is not permitted on this site. Since yours will likely be removed by moderators sooner or later, I hope you don't mind if I post the photo here.

I found the image while poring over a large online archive of historic photos.
