Jaguar V12 coffee table

To buy a low-mileage Jaguar V12, you would be looking at spending anything from £10,000 upwards.

So how about getting one for the bargain price of only £799? Well, now you can – just don’t expect to see it parked in your garage!

The V12 coffee table from V12 Designs mates the British supercar’s classic engine with a custom-shaped toughened glass table top, bonded to solid stainless steel supports. The result is a work of art.

There’s even the unique option of having an image or logo etched into the glass.

The table’s sleek styling incorporates a new, genuine Jaguar V12 6.0L block, and together with quality parts and materials, it gives you a unique and stylish piece.

However, if that’s not exclusive enough, you can pay extra to specify a different-coloured engine, by having it either lacquered or painted.

If you simply want the block on its own, the company can supply you with one for £500.
