Default KRS 6.0 XJS manual 1975

I wonder if anyone can shed some light on my recent purchase, as I can't seem to find any information on it.
So I understand it was a factory manual car that went to a company call Kernes & Richard who then carried out several upgrades, one being boring out the
5.3 - 6.0, tubular manifolds/6 weber carbs and various suspension upgrades along with AP 4 pot calipers.

Any information on this car would be most appreciated.

Kearns and Richards were very early sponsors of Malcolm Hamilton's e type. Google will show you some pics. They certainly knew their way around a Jaguar.

I would be very happy to have had them work on my car.

Can't help with anything directly related to your car though.

Wow, what a sight! Can you post more pics of the car?

I think a SBC has more vacuum lines than a V12 with its injection stripped off ;-). Talk about easy access too.

That car has to rip being a 6L and a manual..

Brilliant purchase.
