I remember arriving trackside at Mt Panorama in 1985. It was a mid-week practice session with only a few cars on track including that screaming V12 Jag making it's way up Mountain Straight. OMG that sound. Hearing it takes me right back to that day. Goosebumps.
I get tingles every time I see that thing run in anger. the 1985 Bathurst 1000 was the single best motor race ever bah none. I was 15 at the time n from a motoring family, n just getting into cars n sat down n watched most motorsports [ only 4 channels back then.. lol] watched that entire race on the 63cm TV, [ whole weekend back then, practice , qualifying, top 10 , the world stopped those weekends each october] n it was a corker from the morning start til that ripper of a finish.didnt take my eyes off the screen what a winner. what a time its a literal chore to see what's become of racing nowadays
Memories of my youth right there. Worked for a guy named Gil Smale back when I was a young fella… Him and his partner from Jag Services on Cleveland St Sydney raced one of these each, for Ansett Air Freight at several meetings a year around the tracks.
the super classy looks and a supercar V12 sound, while still being relatively affordable compared to many other things. perfection. if i ever make enough spare cash im dreaming of building a replica of one of these.
Elsewhere here on YT is Tom Walkinshaw's pole-winning lap for the '85 1000 at Mt. Panorama. It is another worth watching. Glorious machines. I'd love to have one like example vintage prepared but streetable for, you know, touring.
I think Ken Purdy, who was an automotive Journalist, described the sound from Walkinshaw V12 Jag as having the sonic finess of a bull farting in a chaff bag.
I believe the speed limit is 55mph. He is in danger of getting a speeding ticket and no muffler will get written up too. If people would leave the house a few minutes earlier, there would be no reason to rush.
That Jaguar V12 growl is unique and unmistakable. I could listen to it all day.
So could we! It was a pleasure to see this driver getting out there and using the car for what it was meant for on this weekend.
That’s the most angry V12 I’ve ever heard. The Jaguar XJS is a thing of beauty. What a stunning British bruiser. 👍
Does sound nice for sure, 250 GTO however is a bit better but totally unaffordable LOL.
Surprised it didn't spring an electrical leak/flood or a labor movement.
@@fourocker not worth the "extra" money for a bit better sound
@@NikoKyunKyun I have to agree.
The SL65 AMG/black series is on equal footing as far as sound
If a car was a knuckle duster, this is it. What an absolute thug of a car. Its amazing
Hah, first time I've heard that one. Love that reference.
That sounds absolutely incredible , what a symphony of V12 goodness 😍😍
That sound is incredible, A V12 in full song is an opera.
That’s the 1985 Bathurst winner. Mike Roddy should be applauded for using the Jag as TWR intended👍
That has to be one of the best 12 piece orchestra's I have heard in a long time.
We absolutely loved it spending a day in concert!
The sound of that V12 pure music ❤❤❤❤
What a sound... British engineering British built... British poetry...
And....down under...well done Australia..👍
They dont get any better than this,Glourious sounds.
A concerto grosso for 12 cylinders ! Sounds surprisingly good this.
If i won the lottery ide love to build one of these Jags for the Muscle car masters.
Me 2... don't think they are on list for entry as yet though
it's a v12, also you can probably found one under 20grand, don't know the price in aussie tho
How blessed is Mike Roddy. What an amazing car👍

I remember hearing this car at the AusGP a few years ago, The volume of the sound caught me by surprise
Jaguar went to Bathurst and won it . Just to prove that Jaguar could beat those yank v8s from Holden and ford anytime they wanted to
With a v12? I'd hope they could've...
i have to agree
Still sounds amazing, but I suspect Tom Walkingshaw treated with less respect during the qualifying lap in Mt Panorama back in 1985 😁
Memories of my youth right there. Worked for a guy named Gil Smale back when I was a young fella… Him and his partner from Jag Services on Cleveland St Sydney raced one of these each, for Ansett Air Freight at several meetings a year around the tracks.
After the race had finished I could still hear those Jags go up mountain straight from the area behind the pits
Back when lads were lads !! Good times mate
Stunning. That V12 sounds amazing!
Ha, who wants a Tesla and the Sound of Silence when you can listen to this !!
Those XJSs were so damn cool!
One of our favourite engine notes ever!

Mine too. Especially in the 04 and 44 Walkinshaw prototypes of 1984/5.
Shifting like a God.
Sounds and looks good..
We have to agree!

Start with getting an xjs before poor examples start reaching the 10+ thousands in price then...

How good does that sound?
This is the sound I was looking for
Gorgeous

It’s an amazing lap, we loved watching this thing tear around sandown alone, very special moment.
I find it cool that at some points it almost sounds like an angry Spitfire divebombing
I'm building a 1930 Ford Model A hot rod and it doesn't have the usual V-8 engine. Know what I mean?
Oh no, you didn't... 😅
Wow what a sound :)
I think Ken Purdy, who was an automotive Journalist, described the sound from Walkinshaw V12 Jag as having the sonic finess of a bull farting in a chaff bag.
Yes, that would be a consequece of the group a formula, breathing through a thin straw would be the analogy
Most beautiful car of the world 🙂
Amazing V12 sound and yet quite different to those from Ferrari for example.
What a machine.

it's a severe case of one more game
I'm sorry, didn't realise how hope these jags were
Excellent 👍
the only true mass produced v12 engine in a road car, and the only true European manufacturer to ever win the proper Bathurst 1000
Just such a beautiful sound !
Proper racing car!
Should have been called jaguar XJS Cosworth.
Not many people will know why or understand.
some one should lower one of these jaguars and protrude the fenders out the top to give it a lower profile center
That cat at full cry.
GOLD
Sounds like an angry little Spitfire
Is that the only British car to win at Bathurst 1000
No, the Morris Cooper S won in 1966, although the race was slightly shorter then at 500 miles/800km.

Good lord, that thing is an absolute gorilla!
I had a Ford cortina MK1 and the back box fell off. It sounded just like this
🤣🤣🤣You are funny
Ive owned a couple of V12 XJSs,none sounded quite as fruity.
my word that does sound rather fruity doesnt it
An E type is a thing of beauty maybe an XJC this is just a little ugly
