Not mine, but for sale locally. I'm more than happy to have a look for anyone seriously interested, and report back.

I know there are some VX enthusiasts on here, and I'm guessing that if it goes really cheaply, it will sadly end its days as a drift car.

Police prototype !!! Yeah all police cars have manual sunroofs. The power on that would not have been much more than the 3.0 24v GM engine.

The Irmscher 4.0 version was 300bhp. So whats the point in doing this supposed police prototype with less power and more weight

I have heard of this car before and its story then was all a bit iffy. It was just the seller's word

Not sure i believe all the Jackanory biggrin
That's more than fair. I couldn't see the merit in fitting a Jag engine in a Vx, when a Jag engine in a Jag, and mated to a manual gearbox would make more sense, but took the ad at face value.

Maybe drifting at Lydden will be a fitting end for it. smile

This has come up in conversation on ABS. Jag block would probably be ally so lighter than the standard GM block & rated at approx. 245bhp so approx. 40 up on a 24v but torque figures for the Jag lump is nigh on 80ft/lbs higher. Yeah its a one off but needs some tlc as advertised but as to value ....
Its about £30 a ton at the moment
