Rick,
Out of interest, do you sell many systems to people looking to buy a car?
What's the feedback like?
Sooloos, Roon, G series (with LPS upgrade), 800 series (with LPS upgrade), HD621, AC200, Prime and PS, DSPs old and new.
Purdeys, Moke, Leica, 'Blad. Only the best.

I ordered this one pictured below back in 2001 but Jaguar failed to deliver, instead they invested their money in diesel engine technology. I got a refund on my deposit and ended up with a JAG number plate spare that now adorns my Mercedes Smart car  I wouldn't buy the one they finally produced even if I could still afford it. The original was a far prettier car as you can see from the pictures. Very D and E type styling and the D type has to be the most beautiful car ever produced. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.meridianunplugged.com/ubbthreads/gallery/16/medium/1003.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.meridianunplugged.com/ubbthreads/gallery/16/medium/1004.jpg)

Money aside, would you buy what they eventually produced?

Money aside, would you buy what they eventually produced? No; it's not close enough to the original design.

Front end = D-type Back end = TVR  I went to the actual F-type launch as a guest of JLR. It is a lovely car and they've put an awful lot of hi-tech work into it. Admittedly it isn't as pretty as the concept model but, hey, battle plans never survive first contact with the enemy (*). Duncan (*) Legislation (safety, emissions, noise etc), the market (customers, price, margin, fuel economy, *the* economy), build-ability, drive-ability, UK skills and supply-chains (you *do* want it designed and built in the UK, right?), and so-on

Yes. Cars were quite different back then. You could put your foot down and not have a computer intervene if it was not the safest/most economic/least polluting/etc option
