This is another one that resides in my driveway:  This is a 1990 Jaguar XJ-S V-12 roadster. A fun car that likes premium gas!!!! The ride is much better than any Vette I've ridden in. Not much wind buffetting with the top down, either. Here are a couple more shots:   I did NOT buy this car new! It woulda cost around $55,000 if I hadda. Too rich for my blood! Thank goodness for used car lots!!!! |

Nice Pussy.
Looks good the front ends are popular here for hot rods.

Back in the sixties and seventies over here, a lot of Jags gave up their independant rear suspensions for hot rods.

Thanks! It has a 5.3L V-12. By comparison, a 318 MOPAR V-8 is listed as a 5.2L. Horsepower is listed as 263, torque as 288. It's a fast car, smooth on the road, and fun. Gets the head-turners started, too!!

I bet it sounds good with that 12-banger underneath that long hood too! I bet she's high on parts though...fun ain't free though ;D You orta run it down here one Thursday this month and run 'er out at Bristol,see what she'll do,teeheehee! I ALWAYS loved that bodystyle,has to be the best looking of the breed IMHO  |

Parts aren't cheap. Some I can't find. Not really set up for dragging, more of a top end cruiser. I can't even get it turn the tires over! But, once it gets rolling, look out! HAHAHA
