Who made this; what was it based on, and what is it meant to be (that's the easy part!) to gain a point please.

Wafting along...

Based on a Jaguar XJ6 series 1?

Djetset · « **Reply #3 on:** November 14, 2013, 08:15:01 PM »

Yes, it is based on a Jaguar XJ6 Series 1. Any idea who made it?

Locked to you for 24 hours.

WayneB · « **Reply #4 on:** November 15, 2013, 02:39:03 PM »

Please unlock it as I have not been able to find out any info on it ATM.

Was the conversion carried out in the UK?

Djetset · « **Reply #5 on:** November 18, 2013, 01:50:44 PM »

Yes, the conversion was British.

I cant imagine any of Rolls Royce Motors "regular" coach builders would have partaken in this large project (for fear of upsetting them) so I will guess possibly Harold Radford made this Bentley T1 replica?

Djetset · « **Reply #7 on:** November 18, 2013, 05:34:15 PM »

Sorry, but it's not Harold Radford.

Hows about Robert Jankel?

Djetset · « **Reply #9 on:** November 18, 2013, 06:07:22 PM »

Not Jankel either.

Is the body conversion fibreglass?

Djetset · « **Reply #11 on:** November 18, 2013, 06:59:50 PM »

The customer had a choice of either GRP or metal/aluminium, depending on his/her budget.

WayneB · « **Reply #12 on:** November 21, 2013, 01:11:17 PM »

Did they make more than 1?

Djetset · « **Reply #13 on:** November 21, 2013, 01:21:32 PM »

This was commercially available, so in theory more than one would have been made, but I don't know that for certain.

Is your image and Info sourced from a Car Magazine?

Djetset · « **Reply #15 on:** November 25, 2013, 08:20:11 AM »

Yes, sourced from a motoring magazine.

Can the Pros help this one to come out of the shadow?

WayneB · « **Reply #17 on:** December 09, 2013, 10:53:54 AM »

Was it in Autocar Magazine?

Djetset · « **Reply #18 on:** December 09, 2013, 12:12:08 PM »

I might have been, but I didn't source this photo from Autocar

WayneB · « **Reply #19 on:** December 09, 2013, 12:57:29 PM »

Motor Magazine?

Djetset · « **Reply #20 on:** December 09, 2013, 12:59:42 PM »

No, much more obscure than Motor, but keep on hunting!

targhediferro · « **Reply #21 on:** December 15, 2013, 04:44:54 PM »

From Popular Classics?

Djetset · « **Reply #22 on:** December 15, 2013, 06:23:50 PM »

Not from Popular Classics, still more obscure!

Djetset · « **Reply #23 on:** April 11, 2014, 03:18:27 PM »

Another BH candidate, unless someone knows otherwise?!

WayneB · « **Reply #24 on:** April 11, 2014, 11:02:42 PM »

I was hoping someone like Wendax would have solved it by now , as I'm curious to find out who did the Bentaguar T2XJ6
