Straight Pipe Supercharged V8 Mk2 Jag *UTTERLY BONKERS*

This is what happens when a mad engineer decides to put the engine and running gear from a Supercharged V8 Jaguar XJR into the body of a 1966 Mk2 Jaguar. This baddass crazy machine not only looks mean but the noise it makes is simply incredible ! A huge thanks to Mark and his brother Simon for inviting me over to drive the car. What a complete hoot we had !

[@evomark4077]

The error over the Mk2/S type is not Peters fault. We have always known it as a Mk2 S-Type & have just called it ‘The Mk2’ which is what we told Peter. Just remember it’s a car intended to be a bit of fun, rather than an example of a true classic.

[@HQBProductions]

evomark4077 All fully appreciated and understood...just that when you get a bunch of car nuts together, intense detail takes over! Happy driving...my 1969 XJ6 returns from an unplanned 5 months at Jaguar Land Rover Heritage maybe next week...after a big mechanical overhaul, it should be better than it ever has been..I hope!! Safe driving! 😀😀😀

[@Aquariuz60]

Agreed, but still ok to point out that it is an S-type. We S-type owners (1965 3.4S here) need the attention we can get for our cars as we are always in the shadow of the more popular Mk2 :-) So why not change the title and description of the video to say S-type and not Mk2? Cool and interesting car and video!

[@team3383]

@@Aquariuz60 Because MK2 will et more views - simples. you say it yourself the S type gets less attention. I wouldn't bother mind you because a grown man acting like a teenager (20seconds in) when presenting and driving the car really doesn't help this video. Nor does the mat black paint and wheel arches. Just bad taste and too much money here.

[@TheMRmadhatt]

The S type was a different car longer and handled way better than the MK2 as they had coil spring suspension which was fully independent lifted from the E type in truth the criminal fraternity preferred the S type over the Mk2

The guy who constructed the XJR - 'S' type did a build series over about 25 videos & posted it all on KZbin. His name is Mick Hunt & the build started about 6 years ago. It was called the Draguar..! IIRC., it had a bonnet mascot 'leaper' made from small pieces of scrap metal! I wondered what had happened to it. Nice to see it still on the road & being appreciated! (BTW to the haters, that 'S' type started as an empty shell saved from the crusher).

[@douglas_drew]

Had a 1964 Jag sedan in the mid'70s just for the joy (uh, experience) of rebuilding the 3.4. My brother-in-law refinished the walnut so I wouldn't get my greasy mechanic's hands all over it, while I took on the cylinder head, welding out the valve inserts and boxing in my home oven to heat the head while cooling the new inserts in dry-ice. By the time I had the head back together and the valves properly shimed a racing buddy made me an offer I couldn't refuse, and the rest of the rebuild was done several states away in Virginia. I never saw the finished car, but my love for Jaguars (looking at them, not rebuilding them!) has lasted ever since. Nice car, but glad it isn't in my garage.

[@prillewitz]

Sounds and drives brutal as far as I can see, the shell really needs some love and sanding for the rough spots. If the quarter panels would be expanded so the wheels would fit in, after a finishing touch it would be perfect!

[@richardcarter1000]

I did 110k miles in my XJR. Great car. Bought it for £15k as a 40k mile car, took it up to 150k miles, put over £25k of fuel in it on the way! Wonderful.

[@stewartw.9151]

The stock engine in the Jag Mk II was either a 2.4, 3.4 or 3.8 straight six. Never had a 3 litre. That body is not a Mk II but from the S-Type which had the extended boot.

[@RichardASK]

Stewart, I wrote the same thing about the engines, a few minutes ago, before I read your post and I thought it was self evident, that it was not a Mk2 but an 'S' type, so didn't bother saying it, so credit to you for getting in first.

[@johnnywarnerperfectroad66]

You are spot on with that remark Sean, I'm into classic cars and get fed up with folk thinking they should be as they came out the factory: if that's your bag fine, but even in the day folk made changes so I am with you if you enjoy it, want it and it's yours then good on you (tu)

[@mpetersen6]

It depends. What if somebody took a Bugatti Royal and stuffed in a big block with a GMC blower on it

[@mlh4711]

the whole point behind Classics is that "they dont make 'em like that any more". THAT is a large part of the attraction. Changing them so that they are more comfortable to "live with" is acceptable (if you keep the original parts) but pimping is akin to going to church in a bikini. I'm sure the bikini wearer would argue their right to wear it but.......................it's just wrong. Sorry.

[@montanaheaventush]

No Peter, its normally a 3.4, 3.8 or 4.2 but I digress.. The S type was always the best looking MK2 so a great base. Like the stance, undecided on the paint colour, and the finish looks rough as on the front, but frankly its the arches that let it down .. go full body colour John Steed XJ and it would look stunning. Appreciate the bags for the stance, but the XJR suspension was already one of the best riding cars ever, plush but could also handle. I owned 2 XJR's the last one being an R1 and i nearly cried when I moved to Mallorca and had to sell it. The grunt & whine when the supercharger kicks in never gets old!! If only my XJR sounded like yours it would have been perfect if antisocial LOL. Great project an absolute beast! 👌

We had an early 1907s XJ with a Chevy V8 and El Torino transmission: best of both worlds. Wish I had the thing now.

[@Tinseiman]

I don’t want to be picky, but strictly speaking this magnificent beast started life as an S-Type, which was a Mark 2 derivative - it’s got a Mark 10 style rear, which is quite different to a Mark 2.

[@3000Robbo]

To me it looked like an S type rear.which replaced the mark 10

[@thezanzibarbarian5729]

That's so funny. I was looking at the side profile and thought it looked a tad "odd". It didn't look like a genuine Mk2 Jag. Something was wrong with it. The rear end is too long for a Mk2. Mk2 boots are much shorter and slope down quite quickly. As for the interior. It is far, far to modern. Definitely NOT a Mk2. Though from the windscreen forwards, it does look like a Mk2. So all in all, it seems to be a "cut-and-shut" car. Bit of a bastard, so to speak. Definitely not a true Mk2. Still. It looks good and sounds scary :-))...

[@PetrolPed]

That’s for the feedback. We got this heads up about 3 hours after we filmed the video 😬

[@oliverfernyhough-martin9525]

@@PetrolPed I fear I've done the same thing 🤦‍♂️. For future reference S type has the longer bonnet, recessed head lights rather than pronounced ones and a few other bits like the suspension is more complex than a mk2
