    Isn’t it amazing. The v12 jaguar engineers that designed the engine smiling in heaven when that engine fired into life!

    Incredible that you got Natasha onto the road so quickly. The interior looks excellent, and the exterior looks gorgeous. That shiny dark blue is really lovely.

    The way this barn find XJS is co operating with you make ups for the ones that didn't! Well done!! If she had sat for another seven years it would have been a much different story.

    Well done, she's a hell of a find. If I send you some cash can you buy me a Lotto ticket? You're the luckiest bugger around!
    The engine sounds absolutely sweet. I reckon the Jaguar V12 is one of the best engines ever made...........so long as you don't have to pay for the fuel!

    You’re very lucky being in Australia 🇦🇺. The enemy here in the U.K. is always the tin worm! I’m constantly checking my 94 Xj40 for the dreaded rust.

    Nice to see the real thing. Coincidence, but I just picked up a 1/18 scale model in the same color! Nice car!

    Hi Brett, good work on Natasha. I don't think the H.E. engines have cold start injectors, they just use the air temp and coolant temp mapping to set the injection pulse width and the AAV to set the idle.

      I don't know why I said that??? I have pulled apart the xj12 enough times to realise they do not have them. Pre HE'S I think had them.
      Anyway cant remove it now!.

      That was the initial plan but after having a closer look it doesn’t look all that bad. I think I have got to her just in time. I will check the filters regularly to endure I'm not pull crap out of the tank.
