Sounds like a D Type, but depending on what town you were in it could easily
be a replica, there are replica D and C Types out there that sell for under
$100,000.

Far more likely to be a replica than the real thing. Masses of
replicas about of varying degrees of quality. The best are very good
indeed. Our old friend Peter Hugo imports 'C'-type replicas from New
Zealand to order which are absolutely correct right down to the last
nut and bolt and drive just like the real thing. On the other hand,
there are also plastic 'D'-types out there with Ford Cortina running
gear. Most of the 'in between' replicas use a mix of fibreglass and
alumininium body panels over a proprietary chassis with running gear
from an XJ, which means non-original IRS. Still a lot of fun, though.

Thanks Webby. Yep, I'd googled jaguar convertible, but your suggestion
revelaed that it was a D-type. Gorgeous looking car. I'm a bit dissapointed
to think it might be a relica! I'm in Melbourne, Australia. Incidently, I
saw another jag convertible about 10 mins later- maybe there was a rally.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
