Very rare, 15 made. The poster in the window is a `for sale` sign. I think it was about 4 grand.

I like the series 1, but the series 2 seems to ‘fit’ me better. That’s why I’m going to do the series 2 to my own spec. Make it into a 1/2 hybrid, with a more modern Jaguar engine, purely for the fun of the build.
I wouldn’t dare do it to the series 1, as it’s too original. I got it’s birth certificate back from Jaguar, and all the numbers are original… engine, gearbox, axle, the lot.

Very nice, those srs 1 XJs are the best looking I reckon.
By: richw_82 - 29th June 2010 at 20:45
Cheers mate!
I don’t need a leaper to be honest though, they only ever were aftermarket on the XJ6’s, and I have a few going spare myself. There’s more of them kicking about than there are cars!
By: Blue_2 - 29th June 2010 at 20:42
Very nice. If you need a nice ‘leaper’ I have one lying around somewhere….

This is my current daily runabout. I saved it from being banger raced, and put it back on the road. I’ve done 2000 miles in three weeks, and it’s only had a minor hissy fit about it. It’s shortly going to be doing another 1200 or so talking me and a few friends to Le Mans.



This is a staged shot and it wasn’t broken (honest) :rolleyes:

These are the other toys.. XJS is a runner but needs attention, the yellow thing is shortly to become British Racing Green and supercharged.

Just found an old photo of my v8 Dutton, sorry its a bit dark.
As i`m almost 6ft 4 i had to remove the bolsters from the Corbeau bucket seat so i could fit. Then had to cut down all the pedals so my feet could work them without fouling the adjacent one.
Oh happy days.

they dont suit chavs the sierra cosworth is wat i would really like
By: Blue_2 - 29th June 2010 at 16:16
In fairness, if I had the time and money I’d love one. It’s one of those cars that’s always caught my attention. There’s a bright orange one where I live, sadly it seems to be mostly driven/abused by a chav 🙁
