It's a concept doomed to failure.  If you're like me, you can't afford it.  If you can afford it, there isn't enough room for your wallet.

 I think after the concept car was launched in 1988  at the NEC  it went into production in '92 but they replaced the V12 Jaguar engine  with a twin turbo-charged V6 engine  to comply with new emissions legislation.  Less than 300 were made and production ceased in '94when the investment car market collapsed in the recession .. It's history makes for interesting reading ..
