    Great memories of Neil, so sad that this clever man has passed on. He brought so much joy to other people with that car, not least myself. I had the privilege that day to take Neil out on track in his beloved Mk2 and drive it at speed around Castle Combe. I was so honoured that he trusted me his wonderful creation. RIP my friend the Jaguar community will miss you.

    I had the pleasure of seeing the box of bits on my grandparents garage floor and watched it's development in those 8 years, to become the beauty it is.. Well done Dad.. Proud Daughter xx.

      That is what a modern Jag should look like from the outside (XJR is ok, and with 4 wheel drive would be sold in Americas really well).

    This car is stunning and inspired me to buy a MK2 of my own. Love it! Thanks for sharing Neil.

    A few years back I followed this around Castle Combe for a few laps in my XKR on a JEC track day.

    I have seen a MkII at Tangmere Wings & Wheels day which had a V8 from a XKR installed along with the entire interior. It looked sensational.

    Sadly many good Jaguar mk2s are now very expensive but the Jaguar XK8 and XKrs are still good value and will become classics.

    Great effort , some purists might not agree , but for utility/functionality some changes are fine imho , this is not a museum piece that is only looked at & never used , how many purists can put their hand up for using a 12v alternator neg earth on some of their cars ? or sneak in a power steering unit here & there ?

    The flared arches don’t look right, they look too boy racer. It’s a modern day hot rod, but do something about those fenders.

      I totally agree. I really messed up the graceful lines.

    The best MK2's are the standard or Coombes modified one's.
