The Appeal

Here's something you won't have seen before. British class meets American muscle in this cleverly 'restomodded' Jaguar XJ-S. It's a real sleeper too. Granted, the colour is not factory standard, but there's little to betray the fact that this is anything other than a standard XJ-S. But, under the bonnet, we find an all-American V8 courtesy of Chevrolet - it's the fabled LT1 unit fitted to the Corvette.

As the photographs show, the Jaguar presents well throughout. It's formerly a US car, now in the Netherlands, with all taxes paid. If you fancy a 'big cat' with a big secret, this is the car for you.
