| RM005j ( picture by Tin Wizard ) | Jaguar MK2 3.8 Vicarage Drophead 1990 |
|
Around 1990 MK2 specialist "Vicarage" in Engeland started converting MK2 models in very nice Dropheads. Technically the MK2 is updated to the last standards, and a new S-Type/E-Type independent rearsuspension is fitted for a better roadholding than the standard MK2 cars. In general only the 3.8 litres are converted. |

| RM008-140 | Jaguar XK140 Zagato 1957 |

The XK150 Zagato was the continuation of their XK140. Zagato built two more XK150's after the one-off XK140. The XK150 however differs from the XK140 in the front-end treatment. |
| RM013 ( picture by MiModels ) | AC-Bristol Zagato 1958 |
 |
On commission of the Swiss AC importer 'Patthey' two AC-Bristol chassis were bodied with an aluminium lightweigh construction by Zagato. Note on AC the typical Zagato 'double-bubble' roof for more headroom and better aerodynamics. Patthey used the cars for races. Our model has the original registration-numbers of the Swiss kanton Waadt/Vaude where Pathhey had their base. Vaude registrations start with 'VD', and that is still now the case. In the sixties the car was owned by Swiss racing driver Jo Siffert. |
| RM016 | Bristol 406 Zagato SWB 1960 |
 |
The Britsish Bristol representative 'Anthony Crook Motors' ordered in 1960 seven Bristol 406 chassis to have them bodied by Zagato. RM016 is the model of a one-off 406 Coupe on a short wheel base chassis. It is a pure two-seater. The SWB left the Zagato factory in dark-grey-metallic, in 1969 the car was repainted in red by the current owner. As with the original car we have reproduced the engine visible beneath the smoke colored airscoop. |

Jaguar XK150 Shooting Brake 'The Tow Car' 1966 |
 ( picture of master-pattern ) |
Shooting Brake based on an 1959 XK150S. The owner needed at that time more streamline and he had it profesionally converted to a Shooting Brake in 1968. The car was fitted with the 3.8 engine which was tuned to deliver 385 bhp. ( The XK150S 3.8 was anyway a very rare car, even in FHC version ). The Shooting Brake was raced as well. Also a towhook was installed to transport other racing cars and even later to pull gliders into the air, hence the nickname 'Tow Car'. By the end of the nineties the car was found as a wreck and purchased by a Dutchman who restored the car in The Netherlands. The car is in Switzerland now. The model is available with optional towhook. |
