I thought Pete Doherty had a Jag?

I saw a picture he tweeted from 2016 the other day - he's basically a shiter 😆

"In the 1970’s Lotus made some Rover V8 demonstration vehicles for the USA market since they hadn’t fitted the Elite/Eclat with the intended 4 litre quad cam V8, instead using half the engine as a solution to the 1970’s fuel crisis."

Is there any truth in that, or has this guy created his own fantasy?

I’ve never read the bit about Rover engined demo cars for the US before but the talk for years was that a V8 was just around the corner. It did happen, but only for the Esprit, 10 years or so after the last Elite.

There have been several Rover V8 converted Elite / Excels. The competently done conversions do look like the engine belongs in there, seems to take up less room than the Lotus engine.

Oooh, semi-pov early Mk3 Fester 1.1. Doesn't look too bad....

Oh.

"Was brought to reshell a XR2 which never happened. Has been partly stripped in preparation. Everything is inside the car including 2 new front wings. Doesn’t have any seats. Is the non sunroof model so could be used for a track day car."

People. 

Just, people.

Looks pretty genuine to me, although it's always difficult to tell for sure.

Would love it at that price if I had money and space - needs to be back on these(?) wheels tho? And sell the Brooklands wheels....

Am I right in thinking that the 2.5 wasn't a Miller engine?

Strong money though but the interior isn't migrane inducing which is nice for a 1990s Japanese car.

I thought 2.5 = Glen Miller/Xedos 9 and 2.0 = Xedos 6... But I've been wrong before.

A lad I know bought one the other week and it definitely was but I can't remember what engine his was, will have a look later when my phones changed, there were discussions around parts availability.

Correct.  2.5 was a bog standard v6. The Miller was a 2.3....

This. The Xedos 6's 2.0 was actually available in the 9 as well but why would you. Extremely optimistic price, isn't that even the car that was unsuccessfully flipped for 1300 quid before? If yes, why is it 3 grand now?!
