The new barge, total bargain, excuse the dustbin like exhausts (However it's a very nice system) it's had the later 4.2 supercharged dropped in, bought new from Jaguar with over 15K in receipts over 24 months. Love driving this thing about sounds like thunder, goes like a train, stops like an old metro wink







First job is a brake upgrade, previous owner took off the good stuff. It's been de-chromed which I like, not sure on black corners though. Engine has sat in car for only 1 year and only covered 8k. Due a proper clean really, only painted a year ago + had new drivers seat. Cars covered 105k but you wouldn't know it, wheels just been refurbished also

Thanks for looking, ill post the rest of the fleet up soon

Basically the 4.2 supercharged engine was only found in the XKR (And S-type R I believe) You can't get an XJR X308 with the 4.2 but only a 4.0. Power difference was only 25bhp

Oh when a TR6 is on the cards though that must be a tough decision

But do it, a TR6 budget would grab you a stonking old smoker with a V12 poking through the louvres
