Here's a very aural video of one of my Facebook friends.
The car is The Black Pearl.
The driver is Marko Vincenzo, a young guy with a huge personality, and a love for the XJS. He is the organizer of a rally known as Rust 2 Rome, which has been run for the past few years, and has recently returned from his latest motoring venture, Rust 2 Romania.

That video was just before his last engine gave up the ghost. His new motor now has 6 Webers poking through the bonnet.

I REALLY like The Pearl a lot, and, Marko drives it the way these cars should be driven, rather than the way 99% of XJS owners drive theirs. He races it, he runs it hard in long distance rallies, he modifies it, plasters it with stickers, and drives the holy s#it out of it, instead of pampering it, doting over it, and using it as a parade boat, or, a boulevard cruiser which only gets out on sunny afternoons.
Many more of us should do the same.

Agreed. I personally like survivor cars that stay completely time locked and massively modded full blown whack job track rigs (and most all in between), as long as they maintain original powerplants / the motor is quite frankly too important to the experience to toss aside. I just love the way it comes alive / and a manual trans totally transforms the car IMO. I realize the T400 was plentiful and cheap at the time, but what a let down, and when combined with the weird ratios trans and diff side, unfortunatley she got some barge like qualities as a result. Every Jaguar should be made available with a third pedal, huge mistake in hindsight / they lost a lot of potential buyers as a result and I'd argue resale would have been two-fold across the range.
