Internal combustion pornography right there. I've been left for dead by Tom's creations many a time! The XJ12 race car seen on the dyno is a real stunner- when you meet that car on a straight it feels like you're going backwards, I'm convinced that it's not out-accelerating other cars but in fact reversing the earths rotation and pushing the whole race track out from underneath it's wheels!
i had a jaguar xj6 series 1 spent houses for not much performance ! and a Daimler v8 250 = sold them and brought a turbo subaru = 155 mph LSD traction control all wheel drive = never get bogged ! best car i ever owned !
Big thanks for posting this brilliant behind the scenes workshop of Toms. Top guy and also thanks to him for allowing the video being made. Organised and methodical, the only way to do a proper job. Just subscribed and looking forward to more of the same.
Yer he really is a top bloke. And wasn’t sure at first about the camera being waved in his face. But you can see he takes it all in his stride and it ended up being us chatting cars and looking at interesting stuff which seems to work well in these vids.
Mate this was excellent, very interesting too! I remember talking to the jenvey guy at the NEC classic motor show when the heritage TB’s were first out, I was trying to convince my dad to put his fulvia zagato on a set and ditch the temperamental dell’ortos. Top work geez 👌
Thanks Ed, really enjoyed filming and editing this one. The heritage tb’s are ideal for a classic so you don’t lose the original look. But gain the drivability and reliability. Not cheap tho 😳
why not just fix what is wrong with the Dellortos? I always preferred them to Webers for road use, they're a great carb and far from temperamental in good fettle.
Fantastic👍 Love Jags. Reminds me of being an apprentice and replacing the rear cage mounts on E types and XJ's. Seem to remember that we used to buy many parts from his Dad back then in the late 80's. Good to see such quality work. The E type is such a beautiful car and only second to the Muira for me. Lovely MK10 (or is it a 420G?). Really nice setup Tom has there. His skill and knowledge shines through in the vehicles.
Great video mate, Tom is a guy who knows his onions! Don’t always see that nowadays. Looks like he has plenty of work on, these projects take many hours
Wow… love that Mk1 Jag saw one racing @ goodwood (RUclips) didn’t know they were that quick then I saw some XJs taking advantage of some Fords in the classic series….nice video as usual 👍🏾
I’m on at him. Think it needs to be revived. Would make a good project for the channel. It was lively fwd I can only imagine what it will go like with all the engine in the back. I’m sure tom had it on nitrous too!!! Bonkers.
if you remove the bell mouthed weber ram tubes and put rolled full round ram tubes i can say another 45 bhp on your v12 = and a big torque gain with top end big improvement = try it you will be shocked !
Really interesting piece and nicely put together..... does he do anything with the later Jags like the S-Type / X Type with the 3.0 V6? Would kind of tie in with Fords, as that's basically a Mondeo engine with VVT I think..... I know Mountune used to do race versions of the 3.0 Jag V6 and they were about 375 BHP...... Always loved Jags though of any era.
Great shop to tour. BUT..Please learn how to hold your camera or phone steady, as it's really annoying, and ruins the whole affect. Or have someone do it for you if you feel you need to be seen. Thank you!
@@mikefpe Thanks for the reply. Note this is all constructive info below, and not being a jerk, but want to help seeing as you politely replied to me. Thanks for that. Sorry if I was a bit rough on you, but watch it yourself like you were some real car guy who has a serious interest in that sort of thing, (like me), and notice how hard it is to actually hear what he had to say. and to focus on anything with the camera shifting all the time. Now there were some slow shots done well, and that was good as we can see detail. That looked professional. Now when you get into doing something new, watch videos with a critical eye and see how the best ones are done. Some dummys still hold the phone like they were taking selfies, and that is really horrible. Especially if they are trying to sell something on BaT that they really want to get good money for. Also before you do an interview talk a while with the person and get some info that you might not know, so you don't ask a questions or make a statement that make you look like you are the 'usual uninformed reporter'. You see that a lot. Best to take a buddy with you who knows what he or she is doing, and run through it a bit before starting. Doing it segments is helpful and you can merge them later and cut out what you don't like. This way he can get both people talking and can get in a position so the viewer can hear both without straining their ears. Also remember when you are using a phone/camera you really can't see the scope of thing when you are trying to carry on an intelligent conversation, as you are trying to do too different jobs, and that usually doesn't work well if it's an interview. Here is an example of using the phone wrong. I had my helper who used his phone like people always tend to do, and see how much is lost. Even with full screen. ruclips.net/user/shorts5BLdTqlxelM Here's a very short video I did of a coffee table I sold on BaT this week. They showing how easy it was to take off the wheels to make it stationary. It was the first of a series, but You get the idea. ruclips.net/video/CeRGO6VjNtk/видео.html Here are two videos take of Mia playing the same song in different places with two different phone positions. Big difference if you are watching on a 'real screen' like a computer. If watching on a phone it really doesn't make any difference as you can't see squat on a phone. studio.ruclips.net/user/videoQd1zBlHut2g/edit studio.ruclips.net/user/videowTdb4_cjGas/edit Hope I have helped, and not just criticized like most do and with no worthwhile suggestions. We see that all the time in politics, but we won't go there... Cheers!
Thanks for posting this grand Jaguar racing passion and Brittish racecar engineering in general. 👌🏻

BUT STILL LOVE JAGUARS = you should see my face book page ! e types galore ! classic car restoration`s . great channel !
Excellent content, very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Superb quality engineering . Wonderful ! .

That Fibersports company he mentioned had a big fire at there workshops, by all accounts!!
Yer they lost a lot of the old moulds they had in storage unfortunately. I know they did a lot of ford kits and panels 🙁
I’ve got a Jag v12 coffee table with glass top..it’s beautiful
Mate this was excellent, very interesting too!

@@mikefpe you’re not wrong there fella they are v expensive but you get what you’re prepared to pay for in this world…

Beautiful the pinnacle of old English watchmaking to the extreme.
Mechanical works of art. Lovely stuff.
Yer the engines look and sound amazing. I’m hoping to get to some classic race events with tom to see his engines getting spanked around track.
Very talented man . Great video Mike
Classic car nerdy’ness is the best kind
I do love geeking out over this stuff and enjoy sharing it with you guys too 😬👍🏻

Amazing video - another top bloke, loved the video 👊🏼
work of art those engines
Yes they are glorious engines to look at and to hear. 🧐👌🏻
Impressive workshop, place is spotless
Yer I was really impressed with how clean and organised it all is. It’s an insight into how meticulous Tom is when building engines.
Fabulous place…
Great vid. Love old Jags and mini’s.
He definitely needs to drag that Clio out though.
I’m on at him. Think it needs to be revived. Would make a good project for the channel. It was lively fwd I can only imagine what it will go like with all the engine in the back. I’m sure tom had it on nitrous too!!! Bonkers.
Another cracking behind the scenes, keep it up mate, videos are ace 🙌🏽
Cheers Alex 🍻 much appreciated 🧐👌🏻
Cool place
Great video mike, what a place that is.
Yer had to go back armed with a camera 🎥 tom wasn’t overly keen but had no choice when I pressed record. Lol 😂
Great video that 👍

I will ask tom if he does later stuff. I know he’s done other makes and models including some racing fiestas.
All the shit stuff u mean?
my ej205 does 365 hp 2 litre subaru GT28/60rs garrett ball bearing turbo max psi - 40 ! - rev`s to 7200 rpm all day !
29:50
You say that the lime green Jag is on Weber IDF's, kindly tell me what size please?
I believe they are on 44’s I will find out though.
Old jags are cool.
Couldn’t agree more with you Martin 😎🙌🏻
what's not to love about a jag
Especially a race prepped jag 😎😎😎
Nice to see his shop- too bad you didn't let him talk much.
I can only apologies. I get excited when I’m chatting cars and looking at cool stuff.
Great shop to tour.
