      Yes, I recognized him from the Harry travails. Like Harry I had an AJ6 conversion but on a much later 6.0 XJS-C with the later injection system. Modified induction, airboxes and ECU. Made about 40 more hp and had throttle response more like a carb engine which was lovely. So I was rooting for Harry keeping the AJ6 conversion but was really pleased when they abandoned the whole thing... and ended up with a much more performing engine.

    My late father had a lovely XJ 4.2 Coupe which he took to Jaguar engine specialist, Ron Beaty, at Forward Engineering, and had a 4.7 litre blue-printed racing engine fitted plus upgraded steering and suspension. It was a fabulous car and the most wonderful colour that I’ve seen before or since - Midnight Blue. This was modifying a relatively new Jaguar back in the late 70s - so my Dad was a bit ahead of his time, really, and I think he would have liked to carry on with work similar to Harry Metcalf’s, especially a manual conversion, but, sadly, life intervened. I just loved sitting in the back with the pillarless windows down listening to that wonderful engine.

    Well, now Jack... In the late-1970s I had an XJ12-C that I took in trade on a new Alfa. I kept it for a personal car for almost two years...long enough to have tamed most of the gremlins. Beautiful car: park it next to an SLC Benz and nobody will notice the Mercedes! Mine was a '72, so it still had the proper bumpers instead of the ghastly 5mph USA items. I liked the car, and it was rare, and fast for what it was. But the V12 was a nightmare to service, and (of course) there were all manner of electrical nasties to fix. Remember th old saying about Jaguars, "You meet the nicest people, in the middle of the night, in the rain, on the side of the road when the car quits!" Still, I took it on a 3000+ mile road trip from Texas to NYC and back with no issues...but I'd had two years to slay all those gremlins by then. Never did cure the wind noise... Claret with biscuit and a Webasto roof (no vinyl cap) and a set of Minilites...sure was pretty. Sold it as soon as I got back from NYC, and the buyer would still speak to me 5 years on!

The 164 series were decent and fairly reliable with great engines. Always loved TVRs & Morgan's but couldn't quite afford them in my younger year's. I owned several prelude's which I thought were great cars especially the 88 - 89 version's . One of my favorite European saloons/sedans was an Opel Senator/Monza. It was fast!

      This reminds me: long ago, I used to buy Autocar regularly, and I recall that there was a design study for a new Jaguar by an Italian (I think) design studio - I've long forgotten which. I think it harks back to Jaguar announcing the new direction with early XF, rather than the new sports car - but I recall that it had the old school elegance of the classic XJ, and looked a bit more like the XJ-C than an XJ. It was a picture in the news, no more than a quarter of a page, with a few column inches. Does anyone recall who did it, or have access to the picture?

    I love the two door Coupe and I agree that you are more likely to have a Chauffeur in one of these. This however is a totally different beast! Whilst I am familiar with Lister I can't say I have ever seen this car. A very interesting history of the car from Tom so thank you to him and thank you Jack for producing this video. The story of Emma hit home for me as my 'little Sister' was diagnosed with a 'life limiting illness' last year. She is very positive despite the diagnosis so that makes a lot of difference I think. If she were interested in classic cars I would buy one for her to drive around in. As I always say (even before this news) life is too short so enjoy it while you can. Take care Jack. 👍👍

    Tom there, managed to escape the clutches (and abuses) of 'AutoAlex' 🤣🤣🤣... VERY NICE (in the voice of J. Clarkson) 'Jaaaaag'... 👌 (Though I DO also like his red resto-modded XJC too!) 😎🇬🇧

    Great car, been looking out for one of these Lister Coupes for years, my story is similar to Toms, acquiring my
    Lister Le Mans which is nearing completion of a full restoration. Mine has an interesting story for another time.
    As I understand, I’ve been told there are only 3no supercharged Lister Le Mans unless stand corrected,
    Great video gents

    It's very interessant to have the advice of the owner. I hope that we will found that in your next videos. This car is fantastic. I know that Lister had make a XJS with a kit and a big engine. But i didn't know the existence of other cars build by Lister.

    Lister used to do staggeringly high power Jaguar V12 conversions and tunes! 7ltr V12 and even adding 2 superchargers for 600+bhp!

      There was a guy who I used to live near that had a Lister XJS with a detuned twin supercharged ex TWR race engine, manual gearbox and not much silencing through the exhausts. Unfortunately I never managed to get a ride in it.

      @@jjefferyworboys8138the TWR race engines weren’t supercharged as that wasn’t a legal modification under BTCC/ETCC series regulations (not that that would’ve made it sound any better though!).

    This brought back memories of my dad who died recently of Parkinson’s Disease, he had a Daimler Double Six in the eighties, he loved that monster, traded it for a BMW 740 and regretted it. I miss him so much.
