Pit crew needs a Grant on it!

Lovely sound from that car. Really kindles my desire for a five speed! Fav part was the second jag view from behind. These cars are beautiful at speed!

Tks Warren, Great video!

Here's the famous clip of him getting pole position for that race. He was really wringing the neck of the big cat. "Here comes the Boss...!"

FYI,

I have taken my XJS around the Bathurst track, albeit at the speed limit. The Dipper at 70km/h is really fast.

His gearbox seems to have the fifth gear on the low right.
Getrag, ZF, Hewland...?

A lot of racing 5 speed boxes are like this to put 2-5 in the H as 1st is not used much. Makes for quicker 2-3 and 4-5 shifts.
