Speedsix
Iain Ayre, who provided a bunch of pictures to this section created
this replica late 1994. It was originally known as the Brookland
Speed Six, but then the Brookland Trust vetoed the idea. For the not-so-
experts: this is the replica of the Jag XK120.
The chassis is a cross between a racing car and a railway bridge, with
the basic ladder chassis reinforced by uper level beams and a structural
transmission tunnel. Safety was important in the design, with soft zones
front and rear and the bulkheads and floors completely panelled in 3mm
sheet steel. A wide range of options is planned from low budget
lightweight historic replica racers to reproductions visually
indistinguishable from the real thing.
Donor is the Jag XJ6, which provides power, suspension, brakes, wheels,
instruments etc. The body panels are supplied pre-fitted to the chassis
to elminate body fit problems during the build.
The current state of this replica is unknown.
