I watched the video and agree that Jay was (in my mind) referring to ‘kit cars’ that are far off from any resemblance to what they were trying to replicate. From what I have seen and heard, Jay is a down to earth guy. Case in point, several years ago at the Monterey Historic Races, he was walking through the pits by himself, went right past some mega buck cars and talked with the guy that had a Volvo P1800. We were standing nearby by heard what he had to say, he was genuinely interested in the car and what the owner had to say about the car.
As to the SS featured in the video, it is very well done indeed and nice that the modern running gear is Jaguar. One question I have is what happened to the air cleaners? It’s cool to see the SUs, but I doubt they run the car on the street without some kind of air cleaner. If not an air cleaner, then put little velocity stacks with a screen on the carbs. Looks good and keeps at least the bigger chunks of stuff from getting sucked into the motor.
