Looks like it would have been quite a spectacular series if it had gone ahead.

The Peugeot 406 and Jaguar X-Type that Andy Rouse built as prototypes for his stillborn SCV8 Series.

I believe the Jag was the last car Andy Rouse built prior to closing his workshop. Its been hidden away for 18years but was offered for sale last year. Not sure if it found a buyer.
More on the Jag here. https://www.stuff.co.nz/motoring/125630 ... 0CNC%20AWS.

The concept of SCV8 from a fan pov was great and sad it never happened. Spaceframe chassis and race suspension / brakes all clothed in accurate / production bodywork with a 550bhp V8 engine and sequential gearbox / transaxle would sound familiar to Aussies.

Good inclusion in the thread. Fits the title perfectly
