Hmmm what else for a teaser......i also worked on the canned F-type (XJ41) we built 3 running prototypes in XJS bodys...the XJS's were all in white and had big flaired wheel arches .....first one only had the xj41 engine which was the AJ6 with twin turbo's(400hp)...the second had 4 wheel steering and just a normal AJ6 engine and the third one (which was my favorite) had 4 wheel drive and had a fully blown 550hp engine ...that thing was mega fast....0-60mph was 4.5.. when this car was sent to Timming in Canada for cold temp testing it did 0-60 on sheet ice in 10 seconds!!!! i'm pretty sure this last car went to the Jaguar Heritage museum not sure its on display????
