It's the Straightliners top speed day at Elvington today. I've spotted a poor photo of this Jag and I thought it's worth posting and hopefully more will appear in due course. I've no idea on specs, apart from it appears to be a XJ with some sort of V12 craziness (probably not looking at the holes in it) under the bonnet and a great big wang.  |

Looks to be a LWB xj? Rear door looks longer but that might be because its missing the rear pillar. I bet that sounds angry.

That is pretty amazing, looks like he has fabricated a v12 xk crankcase and crank, love the fighter plane exhausts.

All kinds of insanity, good lad
but he's dropping a few horsies looking at the SUs, they could do with a bellmouth and an airbox
