Interesting conversion but I'm not sure about the level of abuse required to demonstrate the car's capabilities. Glad its not my car being treated like that....

This is the XJS that's I always wanted. Having had 5.3. 3.6. 4.0 (though not 6.0) I always thought this would be the best XJS and lusted after one.
I haven't changed my mind.
I don't think it's being abused, just exercised :P
The car that the XJS could have been.......
I wonder how much it will cost finished, painted, trimmed and detailed?
Nice for a weekend 8) outing.......

I LIKE IT :shock:

Wasn't there commentary / hearsay somewhere about a supercharged XJ-S treading too close to Aston Martin's supercharged DB7 in much the same way that the XK8 RR prototype was too closely matched to the DB7 GT?

No problem with cars being pushed or stretched (mine is getting a 5 speed upgrade :D ), but driving a customers project car it like you stole it? That's one hell of an Italian test drive :)
