The Jaguar XJS-C Tiger
A ONE OFF JAGUAR SUPERCAR BASED ON A 1985 JAGUAR XJS-C , IT IS THE STAR OF EPISODE 5, DISCOVERY TVS CHOP SHOP
Bangla Bangers was first aired on The Discovery Channel on the 25th September 2006 and was an instant success. The series featured Leepu, an eccentric car designer from Dhaka who transforms 'rust buckets' into show-stopping supercars without any power tools or modern equipment. Bernie, a straight talking cockney mechanic, flew out to help Leepu create the most individual cars on the face of the planet. The initial series has now spawned The Garage London, with the Chop Shop team producing a series of hand-built, one-off creations for the show due to be screened on the channel in autumn this year.
The 'Tiger Car' has had thousands of man hours spent carefully crafting the body out off sheet metal, and perfecting the elegant yet powerful lines of this fantastic and completely unique car. Based on a 1985 Jaguar XJS with a 3.6 litre, straight-six, twin cam' engine, the car has been heavily modified externally as well as under it's dramatic exterior. Modifications such as a hand-built exhaust system, bespoke six inch, hub-extending 'spacers', custom-built from aircraft aluminium, high KV platinum plugs, and special door entry system with an electronic remote switch are among the many that have been fitted to this highly individual Jaguar. Notably, the car has just appeared at the Goodwood Festival of Speed where it was very well received by the public.
The new chop shop series is now on the air and this car features on episode 5 that will be shown from November 5th, so this is your chance to buy before it becomes a star.
The car is currently for sale, so if you are interested, please contact the owner below.
