Its not even a high roof so good luck standing up afterwards, you'll have to 'fall forwards' and crawl away off the friggin Frank Zappa FFS You've all missed the point. Shirley you open the rear doors and crap alfresco. I wonder if it open 270 degrees so you are perched on the side of the van, legs a dangling.

All i can see they did it make some LS400's uglier then more than likely expected more money for them. I wonder if they had long term plans to supercharge them or something as I think that's a bit of al Allard specialty.

NorfolkNWeigh Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I sometimes wonder how these people that think they’re going to reinvent a great British brand managed to make the money they will inevitably spunk on their vanity projects. Jensen Railton currently Lister are turning up the boost on modern Jags sticking their name on them and expecting people to pay £15000 for a £70,000 car. Wonder if the logbook says Lister or Jaguar? At least the Allard bollocks only wasted the cost of 3 LS400s, a bit of Wob and some coach tail lights. 70A6B5FA-328A-48F1-B0B6-AE1A9B343289.webp egg, Shite Ron, cort16 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulgalour Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Not gonna lie, I'd totally have a Railton F29 Claremont if I could afford/find one, I reckon that's a really sharp looking car even if it is little more than an old Jag in a posh frock. wuvvum, Shite Ron and Lacquer Peel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
