I have to say, those mutlispoke alloys simply transform the look of the car.
Brilliant. smile

Agree, the car looks very nice.

Please advise the difference with the AJ6 Engineering parts.

Cheers for the comments guys.
I saw a BMW 750IL with aston martin db7 wheels on it years ago and just knew that they were the wheels I wanted for it before I even bought the car. Am very happy them.

I will keep updating the photos as i go but can't advise on the AJ6 engineering mods yet as non of them are on the car! Hoping to have it on the road by christmas.

I have only just joined this site, but have lurked here for a long time and long enough to have seen posts of this a couple of times before.

I have an XJ40 and have always loved these cars. I'm really impressed with what you're doing with this XJ12; its going to be superb. Have you ever visited www.xj40.com ? I am sure there would be a few people there who would enjoy seeing what you're doing.

Good work - it will be some beast when its all done!

I tried to register at XJ40.com, but it wont accept a web based email address, emailed the owner for help but no reply for about a month. frown

I don't understand why it wouldn't accept a web based email address - I registered using a free Yahoo account when I did it last year. Perhaps the rules have changed since then. I think the xj40.com site owner is working vast hours at his day job at the moment, so that is probably why he hasn't replied. It is worth trying again, even though its a bit annoying to have to!!
