I fell asleep and only saw the beginning and the end, which was enough to get the gist of it all.  :)

I did enjoy the following youtube vid though which was an episode of Harry's Garage and he took his 16 year old L322 Range Rover to visit a neighbouring farmer who happened to have an almost identical Range Rover. It was Jeremy Clarkson.  ;D

Two old blokes chatting about Range Rovers was surprisingly entertaining and I managed to stay awake!   :y

I enjoyed that too  :y :y

I wouldn't mind Harry's XJC V12 ......  ;) ;)

Converted to a 5 speed manual if memory serves.

Yes .... He spent some serious money on it though. IIRC he paid something like £5k or £6k on it in the first place but spent about £70k in total ... and then a bit more on the fuel injection.

But Jags should be auto's  ::)

.. and they shouldn't really sound like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_GNk0Yn6lg

But I'm inclined to forgive him.  >:D

Fabulous car.

All the video Harry puts out are watchable. He is quiet but well informed so he doesn't piss the viewer off. :y

The XJ12C is such an elegant design.

Can't disagree with you at all, I've watched several of his reviews on various cars ,he really does know his stuff.

I was amazed that the V12 still used a rope type rear crank seal

If I dropped a lottery win than an XJR-15 would be at the top of the shopping list.

Probably an XJ220 as well, plus a project 7.

I own a brace of XJ220.

One blue and one silver. Both are the special and very rare 'Maisto' version of the car. ::) ::)
