Jaguar always screamed white trash to me anyways. I wanted to see under that hood

[ldsbeaker]

I used to have a love affair with those, but then I saw it on the street.
No deal.
Equivalent 6er wins out. Not on paper, though.

Now, an XJ6C or XJ12C? Yes, please.

You wouldn't be able find the engine under all of the vacuum lines. English engineering at its best.

An old boss of mine bought one those ten years ago, he drove it in the first day he got it and then it literally spent months in the shop until he dumped it as a trade-in.

Literally proved to me that all those Jaguar reliability myths of that era were completely true...

good luck keeping it running

Never seen the hard top but I see the convertibles on a daily basis around here. There were two at the Hazelton U-Pull last time I went.

Here you go:



Now, strip it down to bare block & heads. Throw a set of Webers on there & some headers. Insert into a worthy chassis. They can sound wonderful. Just not in stock form.

Wow, that is a mess of an engine bay.

Rats nest. Time to call the exterminator

[u3b3rg33k]

The german spec jags are much nicer. 90% of that rats nest is there courtesy of the EPA. I'll stick with the 4.2L I6 DOHC engines though. I prefer the simplicity of intake on one side and exhaust on the other.

Aaaarrgghh! I'm in Australia and I can feel that thing sucking on my wallet.

[10Toes]

I can feel you bumping this month old thread.

[Need4Speed1299]

I would take the grey monte.

My friend has an XJS with a worked 454 big block in it on nitrous. He Auto-x's it.
