I'll start.

I'm not very good with classic Jags. How real is this?

I'm not good with US license plates, so I'm not sure if the plate's from somewhere in the US, but it looks like a plate from the UK. So all the following information is based on this being a UK registered car. When I look up the plate all I can find is that it's an 1959 Jaguar. A quick Google search doesn't reveal any Jaguars from 1959 that look this, so my guess is that it's a replica of an older Jaguar, probably based on a 1959 XK150.

EDIT: I've just done some more searching and this looks like a C-Type. The C-Type was only build from 1951 till 1953, so my conclusion is that this is a C-Type replica probably based on a 1959 Jaguar XK150.

Wow, thanks! And yeah, it's not a US plate.

I think its fake, but I'm not entirely sure. 1 thing that shows realness: The roll bar is visible going all the way down (under the shell). 1 thing that shows fake: The shiny side pipes.

EDIT: Also behind the front wheel, there are mud guards fitted to the wheel arch. Cobras left the factory with that part being alloy. Its most likely fake.

It's real. I think somewhere in the $1.5 million range but I am not sure.

Worth about $2.3 million in perfect shape, or $2.1 million in good shape.

Found a BMW 530i with a "Dinan 5" badge on it. Would this be a perforance pack?
