The reason why the Raptor isn`t repaired yet.

Post by AZ »

1967 Jaguar 420,nearing completion.Started out as a 3 month tart up that grew into a near full restoration around 8 years ago.Doesn`t give the adrenalin rush of the Rap but the feel good factor driving down the road in this is off the scale :D

NOTE; bikes do not have air brakes,lofting the front wheel will have an effect on a bikes braking efficiency.

That looks classy. Up until April, I had a newer version (XJR), but I didn't like the fuel consumption, and just couldn't trust it not to let me down. I'm not sure I was using it how Jaguar intended though. :oops:

Looking good there Howard, but i'd be frightened to drive it in case The Sweeney pulled me up every 5 minutes to give me a slap and search for shooters and barrstards. :lol:
To a Raptor....EVERYTHING else is just prey !!

WOOHOO!...TWINS!

Yes, not the same since Ford took over, and started putting V8s in them. :|
