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.
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)
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.
That's a series 1 xj6 jag...

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

even though it eats gas....its a fast car and with the classic look its the getaway rob car!LOL.
you can see here that even the old model is faster then some new germanshitheads of this millenium.

Cool Vid. I have the rare 76 Jag XJ12C and it's pretty quick for how heavy it is.
