The buyer didn\u2019t do very much with it, until recently when he sold it to a new company, who have big plans for it.<\/p>\n<p>Trading under the old AGM Sportscars banner, Stuart Bruce-Jones and Jonathan Twynham are the men behind the \u2018new\u2019 WLR and are based in Leicestershire. A re-designed spaceframe chassis is being worked on and will accept Jaguar engines (base model on the 2.5-litre V6, mid-range on the 3-litre V6 and 2.7-litre TDV6 diesel, while the rangetopper will be using the 4.2-litre supercharged V8). They are also looking at supercharging the 3-litre V6.<\/p>\n<p>The aim will be to use as much of the Jaguar donor as possible as this could bring the kitcar novelty of traction control, ABS and auto\/manual gearbox.<\/p>\n<p>While all this is going on, Stuart\u2019s own WLR will act as demonstrator. Jonathan runs a fabrication operation in Market Harborough and will be handling production of the chassis and other metal parts in-house.<\/p>\n<p>Exciting times then for a car that deserves to fulfill its potential.<\/p>\n<p>More from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agmsportscarsltd.co.uk\">www.agmsportscarsltd.co.uk<\/a> <strong>ENDS.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>I\u2019ve always been an admirer of the AGM WLR, which has always struck me as a pretty cool kitcar, which also has more than adequate <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/2016\/04\/07\/agm-wlr-returns-talk-of-jaguar-power\/\" title=\"AGM WLR RETURNS &#8211; TALK OF JAGUAR POWER\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9885","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9885","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9885"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9885\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9885"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9885"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9885"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
