JAGUAR FORGERIES. ENOUGH of THIS BULLSHIT!


Its been going on for years. As market prices for Jaguar XK 120/140/150 and E-Types escalate so do the fakes, forgeries and deceptive ads. Very often in such cases someone gets hurt. We have decided to take the "bull" by the horns and  starting a JAGUAR BULLSHIT LIST for all to see. We urge all Jaguar Enthusiasts to assist us compile this list by writing to us with details of any suspected Jaguar scam, fake or forgery.


Here is a typical example.
Jaguar VIN or Chassis Number: 679539
Asking price: $650,000.00

Seller's Email: ilkka.toikkanen@karhunpesa.fi
Sellers Phone #: +358400884979
How forged: 679539 originally left the Jaguar factory as a XK120, left-hand drive, fixed-head coupe. Now hacked to look like a C-Type Le Mans winner model
