Is that an actual, original phone? I don't think I've ever seen one before.

Talk about retro styling!

A big ditto on the air cleaner; I assume it's aftermarket and will probably fit my convertible. Looks a bit like a K & N unit, which they apparently don't make for our Jags.

More details on the air filter please. Also be sure to keep your MAP sensor clean, oiled filters have been know to cause issues with the MAP.

The air filter is available from the Mina Gallery or a site called "The Driven Man" for $ 115.00. The latter site claims a 12hp increase at the rear wheels; not something easy to prove or disprove. But it does look cool!

Graham, am I the only one to notice the cross brace between the towers. Where did that come from and is it aluminum. We had someone in the States trying to make one, but never heard any more about it.
DETAILS!!!
