Yet another one of Harry's cars that I lust for.
A car I have never heard of before, but one that took two years to design to delete the B-pillar without compromising the structure of the car. It is 10x rarer than the 3.8 Series 1 E Type (15,000 produced), with only 1,800 V12 C models ever produced. Best of all, the previous owner felt it necessary to swap in a 3 speed manual.
Oh, almost forgot he jumps the car and scrapes it towards the end. Yes.

Trying to remember the IMSA(?) team that raced XJ Cs. They had Quaker State livery...

He paid 'five and a half thousand pounds' (£5,500).

this outfit had a xjc for sale for nearly a year, and it seems they have sold it.

this list price was 35k, but not sure what it might have actually sold for.
also, the xjc in harry's video with those aj6 intake updates + the manual swap is the way to really wake up the v12 and driving dynamics of the car overall. a tremec 5 speed woudve been better, and can be mated to other v12 jaguars, but offers a tall 1st and an overdrive 5th. theyre probably a little difficult to source in the UK. if i had an extra $8k to spend on a $4k car id swap a manual in my jaguar in a second.
