Had a 1973 Jaguar XJ6 and a -83 Jaguar XJS V12.. But the best was a -83 BMW 635CSi euro spec. manual..more like a racing engine 10:1 compression..had to feed with 98 octane fuel...used Castrol 10-60 racing oil..

The sound of that engine past 4500rpm...a bavarian wolf howl...!

2nd gear 100km, 3rd gear 160, 4th 200 and maxed out at 245 on the Autobahn..

60 years ago I had a Jaguar XK120, I have always wanted another one. Loved the sound of that straight 6. Drive it one day work on it for the next 2.

Bought a Jaguar 1983 XJS HE 12cylinder coupe, liked it a lot, but had a lot of problems, sold it in 1985,
