The car has won something at every car show it has entered including two best of shows. Nice having something different than any other car at the show. Most of the younger crowd has no idea what type of car it is, which brings many questions about the jag. With a blown V12 it cost too much to rebuild the stock motor and thought it would be better to customize a jaguar with its classic lines than any other type car. Without the V12 I didn't want to pretend that the car was stock...so went to the extreme the other direction. The Car stands out in a crowd and doesn't blend in with the average import or tuner!
