The Jag rear end is out of a Jag. The front end is custom built for Unique to their specs.

thank you.

Sorry Doug, I was pretty sure that was what you were asking, it was just to good a chance at some levity.:D The rear ends are out of 70's & early 80's Jag sedans. They get most from England.

Well Poorboy...we better tell the Weavers they are doing a real great job on those custom front ends....I have a matching pair...one in my 427SC and one in my 1968 MGB.
Have a good one....Mike

Mike,
I bet your 1968 MGB's front end don't match any Unique built in the last 10 years!

You are probably right about the front end.....My 427 is a 1991...MGB true and blue.....but it still rides great.
I'm going for a trip home to the UK next week (home of the Kit Car), I'll let everyone know if I see any interesting Cobra's over there. I actually saw my first 'Real' Cobra there in 1965...a regular 427 (no side pipes), white with a black interior.I had to wait 26 years before I got mine.
Be back in about 3 weeks.

Mike,
All Uniques up untill about 92 had MGB front ends. My car had an MGB under it. I got it in 91 just before they came out with the FIA.
Have a good trip.

I guess if I had looked a bit harder the question would have answered itself! Looking at the Koni catalog the 75-96 XJS6&12, 69-86 XJ6, 72-93 XJ12 and 12C all take the same rear shock!
