Wonderful Jaguar website

Postby SimonR » Fri May 05, 2006 11:39 pm

I stumbled across this gem of a website a little while ago and thought others here might enjoy it if they haven't seen it already.

http://jaguar.fiboy.com/index.htm

It's a set of pages put together by a Jag Nut in Finland. He's restored various Jaguars and upgraded them where he sees fit.

What? - You've never wondered if an XJS engine fits in a Mk. 1..?!

Or perhaps if a V-12 works in an MGB...?

Thanks Simon,
What a great website.

That guy has a similar car history to me. My first car was a Triumph 1300TC, I went on to own two Rover SD1s, one V8-S, the other a fuel injected Vitesse, then a diesel Discovery. It's quite a coincidence. He's had a few more Jags than me though :-)

I love the two photos you embedded in your posting. The word Snug springs to mind for both installations. A V-12 MGB must be something quite extraordinary to drive.

Thanks for the link.

WOW, the first ppl to stuff a V8 into a B thought they were doing well.
I like the gold header tank in the middle, not too sure about the BMC PCV regs. ( a fault they can get is a split diaphragm, clouds of smoke).
Weight distribution?
Sorry, British Motor Company....PCV regs?? Is this a brake thing?
