Went to drop the trailer wheels of to have new tyres I bought fitted, and when I was done with that, I saw a sign that read "Graham X" "Classic motorcar Engineer" So I walked over to see what he was about, he also had this Jag on his drive, and was just busy replacing his very Sexy Thatcham approved alarm system, which had conked out this week. He also has customers Bay window bus, Lancia and some other Italian exotica in the shop at pressent. Oh and he smokes a pipe  In short, remote central locking, ABS etc...... and a fairly modern 3.2litre Jag motor in the bay. Good as it id now for 210bhp plus. He reckons it works just fine ;D ;D ;D Enjoy.     |

It is his daily driver, and he has no issue driving it up to the North over a weekend.
First problem he had was when the insurance required alarm system self destructed.
Forgot, has modern gearbox from I think XJ40 or summat as well.
Asked him about the bus and a Zetec etc for it, he seemed very interested. (money will always be one of the main deciders though.

thats a really cool idea/car, but....
why use the motor thats plagued with electrical problems? and got ot all the effort of fitting the 3.2 instead of the 4L?
length of that top hose is very questionable too......
