Good news, John!

How does it compare to a standard Europa?


Kind regards,

Serge

Only a straight line test, not ready for full road test yet
But it has plenty of power a grip once the boost kicks in better be hanging on

How do you think an XJS will do?  Sure, there were more then 100 thousand of them made.  They are pretty.  And with emissions going the way they are, think V12's be a thing of the past. 

I am betting as i did on the  europa, that their values will not go down anymore.  $2k for a running #2 1/2 convertible example  is pretty good.  New carpets, seat covers and top is all it needs to be a #2

Glad to hear you finally got to drive it, even if just a quick test drive. It must be exciting after all this time. Keep us posted.
The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.

John,
That is great news.  I can't wait to see the finished product.   Perhaps an unveiling at the Woodley Park British Car show or an impromptu meet at the lookout point on Mulholland is in the near future???

You must be thrilled.   

Thanks again for the Revolution wheels.
