I saw a picture of a 1960s Jag S Type with bolt on flares, low suspension and big wheels recently. Looked much better than I expected. Pretty sure it was on this forum but I can't find it now. Anyone know the car I'm thinking of? Or pics of something similar?

Look on youtube. It is miss-identified in the title of the video as a Mk2.

It's  just a body bolted to a much newer Chassis with the Jaguar V8 ( I don't know if it's the supercharged one or not.  So it could have up to 560 horsepower) 

It uses the newer interior.  Not the vintage one with the little wood picnic tables built into the back of the front seats.  Nor does it have that elegant wood dash with the chassis Smiths gauges and tow of toggle switches.  But it's still nicely done

Thanks, that was the one I was thinking of. Also found some cool pics of Mk2 Special Saloons while I was looking.

Our across-the-street neighbors have a '60s S Type. It is pretty.
