Jaguar XJ V8 Super 450BHP Supercharged - This Cat has Claws 

Absolutely beautiful car. One of the best looking sedans ever made.

This man should have been a mechanic ,he has passion for cars and sounds like someone I'd trust 110%

This guy isn't comfortable on video (I understand that) But... He's made an amazing car! respect to him.

A real work of art in every way Well done for all your effort and creativity

The build thread of this car on the Jaguar forum “super v8” is a good read, the attention to detail Alec has gone to is on another level, not only does he modify this super v8, buts he’s also got a nice m6 too, top bloke 👍

I only saw that paint once on a new Portfolio back in the day. It's very hard to understand just how freaking gorgeous that paint is. It almost looks like it's black with very dark red mica dust mixed in the clear coat. It only really looks red wheresunlight is hitting the curves and flukes in the body. So hot!

great stuff, beautiful jaguar,nice to see a young lad with a passion for his classic motor, not paying four hundred pound a month to lease a shitty euro box. excellent lad.

That's a stunning Jag. He's done a great job.

Words cannot describe how much I want that car. Utterly utterly gorgeous.

For the money you can’t go wrong, beautiful, classy, powerful, what more do you want?

The man with perfect taste.

I met this lad at Santa Pod back in 2019. Very beautiful car in the flesh. Think it was running 12.8s runs straight out of the box.

bless him...he's a little awkward but clearly a 'jag man' good for him and he's done an amazing job......

What a great video! This is my kind of car. I love big luxury barges. I almost bought a Black on white, xjr-6 supercharged when I was a young lad. Thou I love the new xj, you can’t beat their old design, they will stay beautiful forever :)

Love this car and owner! Good job!

Great Video and great car and owner that knows his stuff.

Excellent interview - perfect rapport.

Fantastic car. I admire your passion. You have just convinced me that I need a big xj in my life. Ideally the 09 aluminium one. Some good bargains floating around. Congrats on the car and the effort you have put in. Great video. 👍

Beautiful car & very special

Stunning

I’d buy it right away! Amazing vehicle!

Awesome car, well done

That is awesome👌

Beautiful and stunning color! ❤

Freaking amazing how Jaguar used to detune their engines for the American market. On the previous 308 steel low bodies they had the throttle cable adjusted so when you floored it you weren't really flooring it. They cut it back by 20%. Cheapest hp improvement you could ever made on the 98-03 XJ series.

This XJ is just amazing. The interior is beautiful. The two tone leather, the rear buckets (how did he get the power buckets) the exterior...everything. If you ever speak to him again, please ask him for a guide on how to modify an XJ like his!!!

Great video, great car, great owner. That's the full 3Gs.

Congrats men! What a car! ❤️👍🥂🍾🕺

beautiful car

Stunning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gorgeous location. Joyful.

What a lovely lad❤

Great car liked your video

A perfect gentleman.

Fair play my friend not everyone has the charisma of clarkson ... but your a clear jag fan and that rivals pubic persona ... style over substance mind you I’m sure clarkson would love your car 👍

Hello, I hav a jaguar XJ8 super v8 ! Mine is an 05..platinum metallic! It’s a very rewarding car..it’s a kind of car ppl dream to hav or compliment but never will own due to their bad rep in the 80s and how they lack 4wd. I can’t go anywhere w out someone complimenting my car! Mine is of corse fully loaded ..which just about all of them r ! At $100,000 ..back in 05!!! Navigation ..double dvd headrest and active cruise control & bbs wheels 20” r the big ones! I love it and besides a rolls ..next to the Mercedes s-class ..it’s my fav car! The car is not cheap to maintain..every time I turn around the car needs something. Altho my inspection was exempt due to me driving it under 5k miles in a yr. only cost $300 and something! I hav a guy who thankfully works on them and isn’t afraid. Whenever it’s under 30 degrees out or heavy rain fall ..it’ll read air suspension fault..the car will go from driving like a dream to driving like ur on a road w/ nothing but gravel/ small rocks..it’s a glitch coz then it’ll go right back to normal after. She’s my spare car and I’ve yet to hit 100k miles. I take very good care of her ..but the like I said , the cost to fix isn’t cheap..I’ve left paying well over a thousand dollars sometimes! Thankfully I hav insurance that is great so I only paid $200 ..but I hit the back of a girl in a corolla ..9 grand in damage!!! Then an old woman hit me ..and 5k in damage..that was at no cost for me. Ur paying for parts oldie the car as if the car was new. Which r also hard to find today! I do not recommend the car if ur not a car person or don’t hav a mechanic. I’d go w/ a Lexus ls430 or 60. Most likely due to it not having 4wd I may eventually sell. Altho I’ve never had any complications in bad weather. It’s a solid machine! I hav a guy that’s interested but if u r ..let me know..I’m looking to get a Mercedes s550 ..2010 to 13..must be 4 matic and only considering the dark red, white diamond or silver. I want a one owner and I’m willing to pay $$$ if it’s nice enough! If u hav one or ur a dealer ..let me kno! Believe it or not , I got the jaguar as a gift..So it’s fully paid off and u could say I got the car for free. I won’t give away the car b/c it’s too nice of a car and all the common problems hav been fixed. It’s a solid car..clean title ..spent most it’s life in palm beach FL! Let me kno! Positive responses only!

Looking very nice..

This is my car i would love to own.❤☑

Bloody Hell. Those vented Portfolio side fenders are worth STUPID money. You can't even find the functional side vents that go with them for any money Unbelievable rare parts. Man does that cat SCREAM under speed! Wow!

I love the car

I just bought one inspired by this excellent chap and a wonderful video. Cashed in a shitty old pension lol.

I have a xj8 4.2 V8 portfolio from 2009. Lates real XJ 💪

I'm buying a low mileage 2009 here in America. I am doing some custom work as well. Coming with some racing knowledge in my background, I'd recommend if you want some more bite on launch... Get a couple softer compound tire on the back wheels. Not a legitimate wrinkle wall... but it should help with the tire spinning. Oh...and you might want to preplan with caution, that harder hooking can create breakage to the rear if you really are repeatedly smashing the throttle. But hope that helps. I love the channel and this video. Great job 👍

Made in Coventry, United Kingdom. The finest saloon ever created. Engineered High Art. Power, Agility and Beauty perfectly combined. Sublime.

Ah! Ah! At last someone who cares about the interior of a Jag as much as the speed.

Water/Meth injection will cure any heat soak and add some more power with a tune or stop you from loosing any with out a tune. God does that engine sound fantastic.

Mega car 👍👏🥇🍀

Hey,you turned an old man car into young man’s hot rod.

This just a geek who bought a car and learned from his friend what he did then got into it. This sounds like a buy and learn. Almost like how some do festival tickets

Does he still own this jaguar? Beautiful car!! 🙏🏻👏🏻

I would be interested if you ever wish to find a new home for her one day!

Lol...as soon as I heard the engine I could tell that government crap was removed. :) Sounds soooo good.

I'm pretty surprised that the owner hasn't already fitted an lsd to rectify that issue!

Holy Britain/London/UK/Napoleon dynamite💂🇬🇧 His car is freakin bad ass 😭🤣😎💪🏽

the real life terry tibbs

That part of his engine that says V8 on it. Would anyone happen to know what that exact part is called?

Ben Quirk is wonderfully quirky. I try to be quirky always lol.

YOGAT AKOOL 🚗

Can I move to the UK so my Jaguar is properly appreciated? In the states, it’s a little hard due to a poor reputation

Serious ..i iits same interior level than a RR Silver Seraph or Bentley conti .....for price of a city car....... just a difference space for rear passenger legs in SWB... Bentley is more spacious (in LWB Jag is really near of RR/Bentley perfection)...but in x350 Design of SWB is really the most beautiful... because proportions with long Whelebase.nose and ass loose too shorty (x300 x308 with long nose ...long bottom .was similar in LWB and SWB..)

Wonder what the MPG is on this? Great car

X350 XJ6?

Not sure if anyone can help, but I WOULD LOVE to meet and chat with this Jag owner. I have a Super V8 that I would LOVE to take to the next level, but need some help… lol..

I GAT A XJ6 majestic 1992 WAT WOOD YOU REKOMAND TO MAYK IT FAST INED ..A GAS TANK. AND I CANT FIND 1 .HALP PLES

You lost me at the cushions! 🤓

Isn’t this the same Jag that Jay Emm reviewed?

is the car for sale ?

is this car still on the road?

MPG city and highway???

Supercharger sounds more like a randy Tomcat to me.

Nice content clean video great job also nice jag owner bless you guys 🏆

That body style was not available inside and out in 2003

Why not just buy a Portfolio? Be worth a lot more than some clone.

Wow that car owner could bore a glass eye to sleep

Sorry but the best xj is the 308!!!

Time to tune his teeth

Dude is a g. Interviewer meh. Let the man talk

I'd get a haircut instead of a Jag

The car is so cool. But the owner is a drip. Just like his Jag will drip.
