“Jaguar used to make some pretty fast cars with inline sixes. They sounded amazing, too.”
Can confirm the XJs of the 1990s while electrical nightmares purred like kittens. I had a European spec V12 Vanden Plas that was a good sounding motor when it decided to run that day after chanting and live animal sacrifice to Lucas the dark Prince of electrical.
A Jaguar doesn’t accelerate it advances.
I was thinking more along the lines of XK120s and E-Types when they still had “carburettors.”
Yes, British electrics are a nightmare.
I read somewhere that you can cure the anemic charging system in MGBs by using an alternator for a Chevette. It may be blasphemous, but if it works, so what? Just keep the original parts in a box and go driving.
