Odd Looking AJ16 Camcover
 
I noticed this while checking out an ad on ebay for a 1995 Jaguar XJS.

That looks like the cam cover of the AJ16 that was in our 1995 VDP Sedan.

Odd Looking combination too. AJ 16 engine with old teves brakes.

Standard later AJ16 valve cover made of magnesium. The older square one was replaced by that. It is retrofitable...

I thought there were only two 4.0 engines:
The older square one would be AJ6 with exposed plug /coil wires, no?

..and newer AJ16 with trim cap on top and rounder main cover:

Hmmm I’ve never seen that either. Only seen black with ribs (AJ6) and silver without ribs (AJ16)

Just noticed the ribs.

Maybe the Aston Martin DB6 Version?

Protoype?

Interesting cover. Would be great to know the background.

The VIN is too late to be a prototype AJ16 car. The 2 pre-prod AJ16 cars that I know both have the smooth cover.
