Tackling a Jaguar restomod on a tight budget sounds like a major challenge, but this owner got there in the end
For owner/builder Anthony Grech, this Mark 2 Jaguar is the project that was more or less completed in just a year a couple of decades ago but never left his workshop. Even now, he points out little jobs he wants to have a crack at when he can find the time.
The story goes back some years when we all were a fair bit younger. “I had a few carssold for $1000. I used to go across the road and talk to this older bloke who owned a Jag. I’d look at it and think how good it was: twin overhead cam, aluminium head, four-wheel disc brakes – so much better. I was going to buy a GT Falcon but ended up going this way.”
