This makes me want to redesign the intake manifolds. I can't find anyone that'll hone/extrude them anymore because anyone with the skill has retired.

By the look of the engine it is a V12 made from two AJ6 engines' heads, which have been suitably modified. This is a pretty reliable way to get big N/A power from a v12 block

I saw the car at a Jaguar event a few years ago. Was talking to the owner, this is one serious replica.

They measured the original and made a timber buck. Then the body was hand made from aluminium.
