Is the Jaguar XK8 not good enough for you? Then how about turning it into something with a bit more pizazz like an Aston Martin DBS? At least that’s what an eBay seller is proposing in our latest replicar find. The DBS doppelganger is based on a 1998 Jaguar XK8 and was up for sale on eBay with a ‘Buy it Now’ price of $50,000, but received no bids.
Not surprising, given the fact that you can find examples of the XK8 for as low as $8,000, with KBB suggesting a retail value of around $12,000 for a pristine 1999 model with the same mileage (95,000 miles). Heck, for under 50 grand you can actually get a real Aston Martin as we found 2002/2003 DB7s going for around $45,000 on eBay. Photos and video follow after the break.

Why???
Back looks like Viper
@anon1 -
It's only like that because he made a mistake with the fabrication of the entire back end. It slopes downward too much on both ends, possibly because the back of the XK8 isn't as wide as the DBS?
The back looks depressed
It would have been more believable as an imitation DB7.
Getting seasick looking at all the waves in the bodywork. And do get me started on the panel gaps. Sheesh!
Craptastic
looks more like a v12 vanquish to me..back looks like it has melted down...
They should have called it a Vanquish, like Ben said. everything about it is a copy of the Vanquish except the tail lights and the from fascia. Have to say they did a pretty good job. I always thought the DB7 and the first gen XK8 looked too much alike.
I've been waiting for years to see if anyone attempts this, I mean this is great, the Jaguar is simply too ugly to look at. a very nice modification.
