I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and tank clean and rustfree
Hi, I'm the guy in the Jag in the video and I was the driver as well. The 4.2 liter motor that has been "bumped" up to about 300 hp.
A 3 carb set up (HD8 S.U.'s) as well as porting the cylinder head and triple carb intake. I also did a transmission modification by adding a Johns cars adapter plate and installing a 700-R4 lock up 4 speed auto transmission. The car has an aloy radiator, electric fans, and front and rear sway bars. A one inch front sway bar, and a 7/8th rear sway bar.
under a grand? 700 quid on a basket case series III and 300 on a merc 126 S class to drive while you rebuild the jag. Trouble is you'll end up keeping the merc and not the jag.
cheapest old schooler jag would be an xj40.... i got a 3.2 little one and its fair quick, especially for pure road use.... but i also have a big supercharger in the garage for when i can be arsed lmao...
besides that the series lll have that god-awful 3-speed borg-warner in them.... the xj40 has the indestructable 4-speed zf unit :D (and a better pront axle)
wow this video is sweet

Why treat such a great car like that? I know it can take the beating but why?

you can see here that even the old model is faster then some new germanshitheads of this millenium.
