If you were to buy that it would take YEARS to wipe the smile off your face!
Oh, and how long would you keep your licence for - I defy you to keep to legal speeds....

Very nice example of a Jag that  :y I think the straight 6 was a lot slower than the v8 3.2 IIRC. Straight 6 in the region of 220bhp & 8.8 to 60mph. The v8  242bhp & 8,0 to 60mph.

There's a very informative post to anyone wanting to buy one of these on pistonheads I won't post it on here but here's the link http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=195961

Can't see the link,but I know the AJ16-the last of the straight sixes as fitted to my 3.2 XJ is considered to be the "unbreakable"engine.V8s more powerful and supposedly more frugal,but certainly a lot more troublesome/finicky at least the early ones with Nicasil lined bores and poor timing chain tensioners.Straight six XJ not as fast as Omega nor quite as economical-at least in 3.2 guise also slightly heavier than Omega but they are damn nice cars!

Have recently found that these suffer from bore wash but maybe the early model ones only  :-\ Non-Nikasil lined  :-\

Never again.
