This one take didn't just make me laugh, it really made me happy. Awesome build, cool owner and the car is the perfect combination of strangeness, "project car feel" and yet it's pretty solid / refined. Buy it Matt :P
This is such a unique build! The only thing I would do different, anodize the shift gate to bronze, switch out the wheels or get the bronze version of the TarmacR43's. Awesome project!
had a 1998 xjr. black with 22" vagare damage rims when I was 17yrs old. sold it and buying a 2003. same body less miles. these cars are sick. even without a swap they have 390hp
I wish it was a short wheel base. That would make it THE coolest car in the world. Now it`s "just" the coolest car in the world with the wrong body. I LOVE the 1997-2009 XJ`s
This is one of my favorite one takes if not favorite, done so well congrats Karl and Matt I wish I was lucky enough as you to drive such a one-off luxury sleeper!
[Shahzad] Beautifully executed and finished, I'd have gone with the more classic Series II XJ, but very envious, and the open-gate gearshift just kills it! Awesome.
+TheSmokingTire Jesus, if you don't buy it from him I will! This thing would inspire you to be a better man and then reward you with ultimate coolness!
+TheSmokingTire About 100 in existence, right? It's funny you got the works too because I know a guy down here (GA) that has a sweet black on black '05 Vanquish conversion as well. Works great.
CARL: DOWNSHIFT TO 2ND AND LEAVE IT THERE MATT: OK CARL I'LL DO IT FOR YOU (DOWNSHIFTS TO 2ND) REVS UP.............SHIFTS TO 3RD..........REVS UP...........SHIFTS TO 4TH CARL: WELL OK
+TheSmokingire Yes it did, I own one. Mine is a 1998 Vanden Plas, although i blew up the motor due to an oiling issue. Unless this isn't an X308, in which case the amount of body work done is rediculous. Also, while the X350 did not have the wonderful hood ornament, it also did not have the 4.0 v8 as an option. And btw, awesome video, and awesome car, keep up the great work.
Devin Royce The X350 also had a hood ornament, at least in the US market. Here is a picture of a leaper-equipped X350: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaguar_XJ_%28X350%29#/media/File:Jaguar_XJ8_Vanden_Plas.jpg

God Dam it : British Car with an LS American Engine & a German Audi Interior !! Yup, he did whatever it takes to confuse his driving and keep it guessing !!! Right babe ???
+nazwakontaa and a lot of connections. ...what if you don't know anybody. ..im tired of making it seem so easy but they hide details behind the scenes! !!!
but that synchro means you wont be paying attention to the synchro cause you can safely bang shift every gear, basically all the time if you want so it'll be screaming all the time. Smart to not turbo it. Im sure its a bitch in traffic though.
This car is awesome. The only thing I really don't like is the RacePak. Some AutoMeter Prestige series ivory gauges would look so much better in that dash.
+TheSmokingTire That is a clean install. You'd think that for how much a RacePak costs, they would give you something better than a fucking Game Boy screen. Color LCD screens that size don't cost hardly anything. That screen looks like it would be awesome in 2002....but this is 2016.
Yeah, the newer style IQ3 which looks like the MoTeC ADL is a lot better design. I do agree that some vintage style gauges, maybe with a turned metal cluster bezel would be tits.
+WarShrike still has the Game Boy screen. I just don't like that cheap segmented LCD. Theres no reason why there can't be one with a color LCD. It would be so much more customizable as well. I'd like to have something like the Torque app for Android devices, but as a standalone device. You can have whatever gauges you want, digital, analog, graph, and skin the gauges however you want.
This sweet, sexy machine is not even on the same planet as the draguar. Like Marilyn Manson versus the Doobie Brothers. (I will take the latter, thanks)
+2011LS3SS yes but to him a budget build is a different meaning and style of what everyone thinks it is. Great for him idk why people can't understand that side. 40k IS 40k I know.
+TheJubala See, I feel you on that. I get that some cars are more "deserving" than others. However, on the other hand, I like the fact that whether you show up with a 2004 Cobalt, a crazy project car like this Jag, or a McLaren, you get the exact same treatment. The formula doesn't change because the car is more special or less special. I like the consistency of that.
+Max Ellenbogen I attend some meets and club events. I'll just say that there are a few "secret projects" in the garage that very few people know are out there.
As an X308 enthusiast/collector, this is perfection....literally everything that's awesome in one car. Gated shifter, sharp 2 tone suede interior, awesome LS power plant, and most importantly, badass and by far the best Jag body ever built. I would give my XJR 100 and VDP/R for this car any day.
A 575HP LS Swapped Jaguar that's reliable & can fit 4 Matt Farahs is beyond insane.
“Can fit 4 Matt Farrahs”

You sound a little bitter about what this guy has worked for. Why can’t you be happy for him instead of jealous??
Absolutely right.
@@EpicWinNY Ha wow, that's quite a reaction you had there. And here's a hint: with that attitude you don't even deserve you typed that comment on.
These videos are best when the owner knows his shit.
I have to agree.
This cat has the cash, connections and smarts. Wow what a build!
Educated Mechanic he is young jedi.
This. Thing. Is. Fuckin. Sweet. The owner seems like a pretty cool dude as well..
wantsanewvehicle great
Yeah i wish i was his dealer
Nov 2023, over 7 years later, where is this beauty of a Jag now.
Wheels with the ugly tire lettering dont fit the car at all.
Otherwise very cool build.
But they are almost so ugly and not giving a fuck they actually work for me xD
RNM AutomotiveAddiction that’s just like, your opinion man.
They aren't supposed to "fit"
Stop talking nerd
This has to be one of the coolest cars I've ever seen driven on this channel

+krocialblack, Alfred in the 'Gotham' TV series, basically.
Absolutely fantastic build! I love the attention to detail and the owner's attitude about the build. Well done

Yep that’s rite, only with a auto for a sedan for me. Also the Caddy electro magnetic ride system could possibly be used as well. 6.2 supercharged
Did he just say that his vanquish is manual?
I did
+thelittleterrorist22 he got it converted

He's 10,000% serious about buying this lol.
Karl, we all want to check out your GT3 as well!
Great vid, amazing build top dude. Nicely done Matt really enjoyed this. Something really different, and done to such a high level.
Sorted car. Sorted owner. Kudos. A great video. That car is awesome.
That car is SICK!!!!!!
What a sound of that engine....
3:09 god dang thats a sexy shot.
I love this Jag.
Can't beat a big cat. Love it.
Love this car..I got a 97 XJ 6 that I have always said if the engine goes I am putting an LS engine in it.
Damn. That dude's got style!
Wow I want to see a 03 and up jaguar x type souped up! Please!
The car is gangster, pimpin', and boss as fuck all in one go! Gawddamn its cool!
LS in everything!
those are awesome sunglasses
I did the interior of it while i was at Ogden Top & Trim
I think these wheels suit this car very well. He has an eye for nice cosmetics he should keep them but as a rim by itself it's kinda ugly
Great build, great video.
YAY for us Nevadan's and yay for a modern Jag Chevy Lump
"This is going to be quite special" Far out man have you been spending time around Shmee150?
Let's see his high budget builds
Good god. This car is awesome. Well done and such a great find!! :)
How often does @TheSmokingTire end a One Take in the back seat... first time for everything!
Amazing downshifts
Surely there's a market for Singer-style restomod Jaguars.
Stunning looking car! great video.
cheers
Very cool build!
Perfect combo
Apparently Jason Statham is not a real person.
Lmfaooo done
+Udalix Llew Jason Statham character
Osman Qamar Yea lol, later realized he said character.
this car looks fucking boss
lol love this channel they find some crazy cars
nice car all the way exept the wheels and hight maybe, put some bbs lm's on there and lower it and it's gonna be so beast.
the thing is its not an odd ball just for the simple fact everyone is stuck on stupid with chevy v8 conversion ... BIG YAWN.!!!!
If it wasn't for that constant chattering...
Beautiful. He changed the door handles didn't he
you know its a good car when you get matt farah saying shit and fuck.

REVS UP.............SHIFTS TO 3RD..........REVS UP...........SHIFTS TO 4TH
CARL: WELL OK
Cool build👍
wheels not matching but everything else is superb
It's not the synchros making noise its the fork. Im sure he's aware of this.
Real nice car!
this thing is fucking cool
Why don't all manual transmissions have gated shifters?
You should've kept the hood ornament because they're awesome :p
This generation of XJ didn't have the hood ornament.

+bottomlayer They never had them in england you just got people that stuck there own on. Just doesn't look right on a modern car anyway.

That is materials ONLY. Not 100% sure he is including labor.
Correct I recognize this guy from the One Percent documentary. He might be pretty successful in his own right. Or, whatever.
Considering that any car with performance and options and appointments is way more. Then adding total true cost after financing this is a budget build.
This car is fucking sick. A full build and no compromises. I love it.
