Whom knows what car Simon should purchase for interstate events?

What about a Jaguar XJS HE manual? 5-speed conversion, suspension, bigger brakes, and wheels/tyres.

 

I was thinking about this today. Similar but a Jensen Interceptor with a manual conversion. That gives you a bullet proof driveline. Huge parts support for the 440, same for the Tremec. Diff is a Salisbury so plenty of parts and, if you can't find them, a minor housing mod will see Dana 60 bits slide in - the most supported diff on the market. So, cool car and bullet proof driveline. All you have to do then is get Gizzi to go through the electrics.

 

We saw this car at Bathurst one year, was a manual. Image Unavailable, Please Login

Perfect combo!

 

When I 1st decided to do Group SC Historic, my 1st choice as an XJS ,CAMS said no due to Goss racing one as a touring car,I pointed out Group 44 in North America running them in sports car racing still no, oh well would have been a great project.

Rubbish you pull it all off and put it on Motec or similar.

 

I thought you were telling one of the members on here to take off the MOTEC?

Make up your mind!

 

Wes?

 

Please try to keep up Robert, I'm sure it was Steve with the Lotus.

 

Wes and the Sigma?

 

KIAI and the VL?

 

Didn’t I say the sane thing a few months back?
Better late than never!

Perfect .full size spare wheel , in 5th gear on the highway one would close to 20mpg at 110-115 kph .

 

If that XJS was black rather than blue, I’d seriously consider it!
I like my Jaguars in one colour - black!

 

So do I

ex group A car ?

 

The XJS platform is really rather good - lots of options to make it handle really well and much better suspension than a similar period BMW or Mercedes.

Get the electrics, water pump and radiator properly sorted and those Jags are pretty reliable.

 

I have a recollection that the XJS was built on the (shortened XJ6) XJC platform?

I had an Aussie neighbour in London who bought a new one in the early 80's, to make a profit when he returned to Sydney LOL.

 

some great footage in this video

 

spot on - they’re all based on the shortened XJ platform.

The Brits did everything on the cheap - great engineering made poorly!

 

Coughs The Merlin ?

 

They were a thousand pounds in London in '89 and STILL no-one wanted them, HOS, wouldn't give you a dollar for one
