Apparently it is a manual XJR6:
see the subframe and upper bush move around, i think i see the vee mount lift as well.

your guess == my guess 
of course it is possible to do videos of both sides
and if one is worse than the other, then its food
for thought.

If the bush moves more than the amount needed to change a
the wheel alignment by 'x' degrees where 'x' would be unacceptable
error in the static alignment ... there is potentially a problem.
Of course, vee mounts lifting would be a Bad Thing(tm).

Jeremy Clarkson smoke tires around a track.
Especially since I discovered what seems to be a worn upper right balljoint
last night while preparing for a pad slap.
The tire can be rocked at the top by 1-2mm but not at the bottom
or sides. A finger spanning the hub to upper control arm joint area
can detect movement at the joint. Through a work glove.
Hmmm ....

I would occasionally get tramlining on certain road conditions but it stopped when I changed all four tyres, incidentally if any ones interested I had four "Landsail" tyres fitted they are a midpriced Chinese tyre and despite my initial concerns regarding quality they have been just fine and after seven months of use I've no complaints.

Tramlining is when the car appears to be following a groove in the road and not responding to small steering corrections. If you have ever driven on a street with streetcar (tram) tracks you will notice the unpleasant sensation immediately.
I had that problem with my Z3 when I bought it, but new tires fixed it Worn suspension and steering bushes can often result in the same sensation.

I would remove the cable tie from the hoses to the brakes - it is preventing free movement between the two ends, effectively creating two shorter lengths,and so causing more stress/bending on the hoses, which will fail sooner.
