Saw this on another forum. Thought it was worth sharing.

I don't think that qualifies as a little bit.

Other than the fan, pretty neat for a themed car.

This is what happens when people have a lot of money and too much time... And I like it... Not the car but the idea that therr is one less XJ-S out there in an original condition... Makes mine worth morre

rear view mirror / camera? Common placement on racers.

I find it interesting. I think this is the dually car right?

need engine pics. Right now, in my mind, it's got a turbo four banger under there. "Bigger the scoop, smaller the motor" syndrome.

Hopefully a blown V12.

This is James Loves XJS. There's a video of it on the Facebook XJS, XJSC, XJSR group.

https://video-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/...5d&oe=596823FA

The pic above is a bit odd, but When you see the three portholes per side, side pipes and dually rear setup it really goes from odd in the pic above to comic book car wierd. Zeppelinesque!



edit:
The above is a dead link now, and I have no idea how to permanently refer to the video, you know, like how the internet works.
This should link to the Group if you're interested.

JigJag - thanks, I guess Looks like a prop from budget version of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen or somesuch... or maybe the British version of Corvette Summer. Wow. Might actually need to get a dummy Facebook account just to read up on this. Can't stop looking...
