A real perfect example of a colour that most would shy away from, but seeing it on the car its perfect. You chose the team of people so brilliantly to restore this car to better than it left the factory. All so incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic towards your specific niche. And it shows. It cost far more than the car is worth. But was it worth it? Certainly. Fantastic to see running and enjoyed.

Tom just blamed his inability to get the original system sorted on the system rather than himself. Of course this video is going to be nothing but singing the praises of the new system - it's all he was able to do. But funny how some mechanics manage to sort out the old system and make is reliable. I understand that Harry has his happy ending - and that's nice. But this conversion and video series has promoted a myth that the original system cannot function reliably. I've met mechanics who are experts in the original system and they know what to do with it. So, sorry, I can't get excited about old Tommy-boy. He's basically throwing together kit-injection that mostly sorts itself out. There are a million mechanics at his level.

Your XJC is a real gem and has improved in every way since you started this process. The color is both beautiful and speaks volumes for the heritage of the brand. It looks like a true British GT coupe, like a genuine Jag, from every angle... and now it has the performance to match the great design.

My favourite Jaguar of all time. Originally the subject of many restorations in my original Jaguar workshop back in the day we fitted AJ6 engineering ram plenum induction manifolds But what you have done in essentially retrofitting the later HE fuel rail and system is superb. Congratulations

Fabulous! A car that looks beautiful from any angle. Really nice photography on those Cotswold roads.
