The Roaring Season

it is on the internet , so it must be a true

It can't be a replica, it doesn't look the right shape to be a 23B, and as for the roll bar it is a joke, it doesn't have to look like that to make it safe

where is the ladder so the driver can escape safely if the car is upside down?

The scaffolding looks as if it might slow him down getting out of the car John.....

The scaffolding has a purpose- it is giving the camera correct height and angle, would not be possible otherwise to see the track, gear changes, all instruments, driver wearing gloves...........

Sorry, but the Lotus 23 with the scaffolding is a perfect example of safety versus purity. Real or replica?

[quote="Haga"]RE: XA GT Coupe. Chassis/Rego states it is a 72 car. RPOs were mid 73 build. Therefore not RPO....maybe RPO specs.

My last info on the Lloyd car was that it was in the SI under restoration....quite possibly this may be the car (no LH mirror, body protection mouldings, rear spoiler etc) . Looks very nice.[/quote]

On the for sale sign it said about being an RPO with race history

[quote="John McKechnie"][ATTACH=CONFIG]24900[/ATTACH]
This could be its racing history.
Barry Lloyd was 1978 GTX Champion.
Cant have been too many Lime Glaze XAGTs with white interior in NZ.[/quote]

Wow, you might be right John! Same colour interior too. Better get your chequebook out!

Didn't get a photo of it at Highlands (was at Warbirds over Wanaka on the Saturday, only dropped my car off) but do have a photo of the car at the last WOW

Shame to see Micheal Talbots Alfa 105 bent. That is one very nice car. Hope it has been repaired as we are due to see it here next weekend.

At 2.29 on this video , there is a lime glaze XA GT Coupe, could this be the ex Barry Lloyds 1978 GTX Championship winning car?

Feature video has our two yellow Minis in it
Day One highlights you see me driving in right at the start of the film in my white Mini

I was being polite Rhys.....I was aware of the de Joux body.....or parts of it. Cheers, Bruce

#59 has a heritage of a de Joux body, after that ????? From a purists point of view it's a hotrod and a very out of "period" one. :)

Interesting to note that all 3 Southern Hemisphere built Group A Jaguars are out on the race tracks now, along with the Bathurst winning TWR one. Be magic to get all 4 in the same race - along with the Rover.

Number 59 the sports car special.....pretty cool but what is it ?
