I can't believe you've built my car. The Mark 2 is my favourite Jag and I've long held the dream of obtaining one and having a nuts and bolts restoration done with exactly the mods you've introduced here. You never know I might be giving you a call one day.

My late brother liked his 3.8s. Usually in red with chrome wires. In those days on Dunlop Roadspeed tyres. Two things I remember 18mpg without overdrive 21mph with. Also they were a bit back happily. Very easy to spin. Usually through 90 degrees rather than 180.

Very nice indeed, nearly perfect, I think the oil cooler needs to be matt black and the cam covers look too modern. (I cannot afford it so I may as well be picky).
@mcashnv Жыл бұрын
Exhaust manifolds would look much better with porcelain. Not that expensive. Prefer the smooth cam covers to these. I had a MKII with Jag 4-spd + overdrive. Worked just fine. Don't see the need for a modern 5 spd. Would be different if it were an E-type.

For my sins I have a low mileage ex South Africa Mk.2 3.8, in very fine condition, with the same colour combination. Gorgeous lines, but it’s heavy to drive due to it having the original steering set up. Looking at the dashboard of this particular car, I see it has a manual choke control . Could this car have originally been a 2.4? Lovely machine, and oh those mods!
@peterowens2903 жыл бұрын
Very difficult to make out what's being said during the drive. J Leno does much better. I recall the infamous 3.8 developed about 220 HP, does this later design 4.2 develop more. The sound during acceleration seems a bit extreme, again how different is this to the original 3.8?

I've been driving for 57 years, owned about 45 different cars, a few performance cars, never bought any car for its "safety features". I don't buy them to crash, I buy them to drive, the best safety features are skill, driving safely to conditions, obey the rules, good vehicle maintenance followed by lashings of good old common sense, (not so common today). Many have become so smart as drivers with all the "safety features" we've abrogated our responsibility as safe operaters of motor vehicles.

Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they even want to slow down all the gas pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.

The only Mk2 that's worth having is a Mk2 that's just like it came out of the factory - Warts and all. It may drive better and it may be faster but this Jaguar is ruined.
