Jaguar Mk 2
The engine bay of our Mk 2 Jaguar. Features straight port head, fast road cams, electronic ignition, stainless steel tubular exhaust manifold with large bore system and K&N air filter. We have just fitted a 123 distributor with 16 preset ignition maps. Wow, these things work well. A noticable difference in the drive. We have a fuel injected head from a Series 3 XJ6 that may be going onto the car soon. Watch this space.

MGB Roadster
This is our '66 MGB Roadster in Olde English White. We have fitted uprated suspension and anti-roll bar, longer wishbone arms for better camber, castor reduction kit, rose joint drop arms, parabolic rear springs, 15" MGC wire wheels and an MGC rear axle and propshaft to facilitate the gearing. Often seen at MG track days.

MGB Roadster
Engine bay of '66 Roadster featuring aluminium cross-flow cylinder head on a 1950 lightened and balanced engine. Also fitted is electronic ignition, a pair of 40 DCOE Webber carburettors, uprated exhaust system and remote oil filter. We have changed over to a 4 synchro overdrive gearbox and fitted an MGC 140mph speedo with corrected gearing for our car. We saw 111 mph through the timing lights in fourth gear without overdrive at last year's Jaguar Speed Trial at Woodbridge. After fitting a 123 electronic ignition distributor to our Jaguar I had to try one on the MG. Early signs are good but I have only driven the car 13 miles. Now where are those keys?
