LOL
I obviously have no Kloo what a spyder valve is. Perhaps some James Bond thingy that
Q made in a fit of exuberance.
OK, I'm going quietly to my room now.......

I think one or two XJs were converted by a few coach builders, but Jaguar never did produce one for sale. Spider or Spyder is a common word used for 'roadster'cars, although why this word I really don't know !

Fraser ,interesting info about Jag and coach builders!
my 1978 XJS came from Kent,and the story i was told that it was built at the Aston Martin Tickford coach builders shop!
it is a RHD and work was well done, but it seems never quite finished!
it was owned by a woman with the USA embassy, or something of that info, she was being transfered back ti USA , and liked the car so much she had it shipped to New Jersy shipping docks.
seems she was busy and lost interests and sold it ,ending up in Fla, US.
i got it and finished it up, project ,a lot of money ETC,etc.
