XJR X300 Race Car
Discussion
Looks absolutely super, I loved the XJ40 but this is going to be even better. My daily is an X308 XJR and I've thought many times it'd become an absolute rocket ship if it went on a big diet, the spare wheel alone is ludicrously heavy. Not driven a supercharged six but I'm sure they're great, will you be trying to crack 400hp with the Eaton?

Perhaps crack 400 eventually, but for now, it'll be all about stopping and turning and learning to drive the car first

Good to see the new car. Hope Mr Parrington is working hard on it for some good results but I will be having words if he prioritises it over my coupe restoration 
I've seen your Coupe several times in various states - what a project!Good luck in the new car. Will be watching
Hi All
So the cage is in (Little bit of welding to do, but almost there) and so is the racing seat.
She runs with a manual box! And it's a complete riot to drive, absolutely screams! You have to trick the old Auto inhibitor switch in to thinking the car is in park.
The rear doors have been hacked away as well, all in the pursuit of less weight
The supercharger whine just results in loss of traction on anything but a dry road. Next stop is the exhaust shop, side exit is the plan, but lets see what happens
Cheers
