This is what I swapped My Jaguar 3.5 Saloon featured in Part 3 of this Series for ( to my eternal regret!)
This Bike is mentioned in my ;So you want to be a Rockstar? series !

When Wayne was about a year Old Chris and I went to The Coast , Durban - Margate Area in the Coombs MK2.
Our first trip away with a Baby so we probably took too many items with?, I kept the Jag just under 3500 rpm in Overdrive top which corresponded to 85MPH and about 28 MPG, anything over 3500rpm it would hit the Racing Camshafts Hard , run like the Devil , but drop to 8mpg in return?
My Mom's Sister Pat and her Husband Ron stayed on The Bluff in Durban and were very Happy to see our Beautiful Boy ( no exaggeration)
Ron an Ex Hot Rodder was very excited to be taken around his area at a ridiculous Speed in My Black Jaguar.
We had a Wonderful Holiday , and on the Way Back Chris and Wayne were asleep ( I enjoy driving at night ) and I was flying along at 130MPH , slowing down to 100mph for bends , that car went around bends as though it was on rails!
Pretty Much , the Ultimate MK 2 with a Jaguar Engine!
I had given one of my MK1 Bodies to my Dad , fitted MK2 Suspension all around, wider rear track and Disc Brakes all around
He fitted a Chrysler V8 engine in it with an Auto Box, pulled really well! Made the mistake of letting My Mother Drive it to the Shops! ( will save that for another Story)
Here is a V8 engined Mk2 !
While this was taking place I was busy with another project at My Dad's house as well! More on that later.
Please enjoy my continuing Autobiography!
