	I would love to see that roll into the annual Mk2 Jag convention and park itself slap bang in the middle of the concours stand after laying some mahoooosive 11's on the way through a stunned crowd of proud Mk2 owners. Knowing very little about things built to go VERY fast...is that cage area directly above the seat designed to heep the drivers head attached to his shoulders in the event of a hard impact/roll? Amazing car - so brutal. Not just in looks....

	I love the way its not aiming to be a streetmachine/prostreet thing like many seem to be. With the super shiny paint and over bling wheels, Just looks hard...

	Interesting to see how that's developed as his tastes/interests and fashions have changed. The narrowness of the rear chassis implies it was running typically big pro street/drag rubber when first built min the 90s.

	Glad I clicked this link. I agree about the scoop, but just from looks alone this is the best Jag I've seen in a long long while.

	I love it. It looks wicked but... It feels a bit thrown together to me. Definitely got a chassis from an earlier era because the rear end looks like it was clear for some serious boots. No problem. But how can that scoop be any good for aerodynamics at 200mph? And a tunnel ram with a fabbed intake can't be that good for hp either. Get rid of those two and it should run 200 straight away.

	That is fantastic! Found a few more images and a little info at www.spinneyhead.co.uk/archives/category/models/inspiration/ [Pedant mode on] It’s actually a Mk1; spot the lack of sidelights on the top of the wings and the side windows surrounds in body colour not chrome…[pedant mode off] Fabulous car though!

	Looks for all the world like someone parked a jet engine on the bonnet and by the look of it the car probably goes like it has a jet engine on the bonnet. Incredibubble.

	Somone explain the inlet manifold to me, as I'm not sure I understand what's happening with it and why that 4 barrel isn't mounted closer to the heads. Everything else I approve of, but that one just has be stumped.

Everything else I approve of, but that one just has be stumped. Its a "tunnel ram" manifold. The longer intake tracts can help make power at higher revs but would have a detrimental effect on idling. Least that's what I seem to recall anyway. Kinda got started in this sort of application with the "Ramchargers" drag team around '59/'60
