Hi Dave, dragging this thread up from the past a little.

I'd be very interested in knowing some more about the brake master cylinder/servo that you've used. Having an auto with single circuit brakes scares me, so I was hoping to replace with a more modern dual circuit system and move the servo above the pedal as you have done. I have seen some people upgrade to a dual master cylinder but in the old location, this means there's still a single pipe from pedal cylinder. Anyhow, could you please give me some further details of the components you used, cheers Steve

That last photo is absolutely the tops. Congratulations!

If Jaguar had produced something that looked more like that today (the R Coupe), they might have avoided their present mess... .

Impressive to say the least and subtle. The colour is stunning. Pat yourself on the back from me.

Your car is superb. But there's one thing (and not a small one) on the back of the car in the second photo: the tow bar. It does spoil the lovely lines, sort of Mona Lisa with a toothbrush moustache.

Fit an easily removable tow bar ~ clip on.
