My best friend's brother is selling this super-cool Jaguar: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1967-Jaguar-420G-sedan-parts-car-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem2c5b94ffe1QQitemZ190515052513QQptZVintageQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories
Obviously it's an outstanding candidate for V8 conversion... You could make something very special out of this one, but it calls for high-class workmanship. Incidentally, <a href="http://www.moyermotorcars.com">Walt's shop</a> provides superior quality service for Rolls Royce and Bentley owners in the Washington DC / mid-Atlantic area. It's definitely worth a drive out to Front Royal just to see what cool old British cars they're working on!
I want those tail lite(s), for my MGB , roverman.
When I was in high school, I used to mow the lawn for a family that owned a brand new 420G. The mom used to come to my house and I'd load up my mower into the trunk and ride to their house amongst all that burl walnut and Connoly leather. Made enough mowing lawns to buy my first bugeye.
