Spotted an absolutely immaculate red Jaguar XJS on the Duntocher Road the other night with what seemed like a factory fitted bodykit. Nothing OTT, it looked purposful and hence my assumption of the TWR link. Also had twin headlights with a black surround.

Had a quick look on google but no clue as to what exactly it was. Never seen one before.

Anyone know the type of car i mean, or the particular car?

Cheers

Could have been an XJR-S. I saw a red one on Bothwell Rd, outside the racecourse, last week.

Did it look like this: http://www.jag-lovers.org/brochures/xjr-s6-0.html?

Looks very similar, but i have a feeling the one i saw had a more aggressive kit. Can't be sure though as i only passed it quickly in traffic.

It could have been a Lister Le Mans XJS. This looks a bit like the XJRS 6.0, but has a much more aggresive bodykit and bigger chrome effect wheels.

It has a Lister tuned 7 litre version of the V12 putting out something like 520bhp, and has a manual gearbox.

I used to see a red one of these, the only one I've ever seen on the road, in and around Glasgow quite regularly, although that was a good few years ago now. Could be the same car.

Just researched that on google and thats the one - never heard of that before, always nice to find out about a new car you've never heard of.

Must be the same one then.
