unfortunately not, just the half pint!!
always wanted one and this came up reasonably priced in Glasgow, on a hunch from a post in the Classic section of PH. I took a chance on it and apart from a rotten floor and inner/outer cills it was pretty straight and running after 10 years of slumber. all structural works are now done and its had a mechanical overhaul to get it through an MoT. next job is the headlining and that will have the interior sorted, then its a usable improver to work on over the years.

Hey Darren, see the Jag collection is still growing lol To be fair I bet there isn't much in the power, the V8 is a lazy lump and feels hard work compared the MX5 lump. It's a 3.6 with high compression pistons, vitesse heads and fast road cam. Edelbrook carbs and an SD1 gearbox(horrible thing). There's loads of work to do on it, the last owner tried to make it into a Ferrari :s i went the turbocharged route for more MX5 power, its whats needed.

I sold T21NTO to the garage in Southsea near my flat, I think it's been scrapped since. Bought a 07 Audi A8L 4.2TDI, not a patch on the Jags performance but a lot more modern for the daily drive
