Well Just wondering,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Dang it this XKR is fast and fun to drive...........too bad this motor isnt in my Disco

 

It could be with a little effort.

Or just swap the Disco body onto the Jag chassis.

I keep seeing the same Gold Jag XJ hardtop V12 sitting in this guys yard. I used to really want an XJS but the mechanic I bought my 928 from told me that even if I was given an XJS that I could not afford to maintain one of those V12's.

Another Rover friend of mie specializes in both Rovers and Jags. He blames the V12 for Jag's decline from their heyday.

Yours has a supercharged V8 doesn't it?

Wonder what block that was developed from? and who makes them?

 

here you go

 

Savannah,

Please have that one delivered to me at my home address in Pittsburgh, I wait for delivery each day until four!

Come to think of it, I could probably go and buy that gold one and put it on my Disco's chassis instead of fixing the rust I have now.

 

I have worked on a few XJS in the UK and believe me they are a piece of junk, the elecrics suck, really suck and the engine is a night mare to work on, even worse than Disco 2 engines. To replace the spark plugs 12 of them you have to dismantle the fuel injection rail and it a sod to do, they rust like crazy. A beautiful car to look at or borrow BUT never to own

 

I do like the original E type much better actually.

Also one older fellow who operates one of those places that buys collectible items like WWII memorabilia, told me he has two of the late 50's Jag Sedans in a building he owns.

A friend of mine whose dad was a VP at Lockheed had one of the big Jag limo types that was a gorgeous two tone Burgundy and Black formal looking sedan or Salon? Saloon?

 

not a jag owner but a rolls owner... so probably even worse off reliability wise haha

and that thing is prime for a small block swap when the v12 finally gives up the ghost hah

 

i like those jags with the corvette engines. they got a name....cant remember.

 

Yeah, a lot of people replace the blown v12's with a 350. The Jag rear end is a bad ***. I know one fellow who has one of those MB1929 Replicas with a Buick Grand National turbo 6 and a jag rear end in a fiberglass 4 seater that only weighs about 1200 pounds.

That Range Rover Sport has a SuperCharger. Greg Norman drives one.

 

YEP. actually just recently got it. its a '94 XJ12. the engine scares me...alot...its fast. and so far after about 2 weeks of ownership ive already dropped around $400 into just the engine....I love it though. looks good, rides good, runs good. but Im gonna try and find me an '04 disco here soon
