- In our first video for our sister channel BOM TV, Richard buys an old Jaguar to test out the 507hp 5.0l supercharged drivetrain with a view to using it as a transplant for future projects. Well that's his excuse and he's sticking to it.

Congrats on your new ride. Jags are nice and if you can fix'em yourself, you have already come out ahead. Remember, that v-8 can pass anything on the road except for a gas station!
We don't have gas stations over here
Mine gets 25.3mpg on the freeway at 72mph….and overall city and highway is always around 18.9-21 just depending how I drive…usually when it’s cooler out I drive harder because more ignition timing from ECU lol but yeah for 500 plus horse I’ll take 25mpg on highway
So will you be putting the engine and drive train from this, into a Fiat 500, and call it project Bonky?
And then put the Fiasco 500 engine in the Jag.
It would have to be called mort
after hearing the exhaust note at the end i want them to build me one in a mk3 fiesta, call it what you like
BMW Isetta.
To call this a beautiful car is an understatement. I own a 3.0 litre petrol xf and I think that it's a stunner. I can't afford a 5.0 litre SC (although I'd love to) I'm glad to see that you are and long may it continue.
How is this 2 years ago 😑. We need more updates!
I take it the “something else” is the MG SV? Can’t wait!
i forgot about that.
The rally car
That would be very nice.
Great car, great color! I love my 2010 Kyanite Blue XFR - it's 10 year old and people can't believe it's not new. Great performance value - I love Jaguar depreciation!
Bought mine in march, 2012, its a beast. I love it when people think its a diesel XF then you tell em its a 5l Supercharged V8. The only problem is you can never go back to a normal 1.6l hatchback. Lol
Gorgeous car! That dealership seemed shocking!
Very dodgy looking indeed,it is a place I'd avoid.. but the BOM guys can fix the inevitable hidden issues I'm sure
Probably not as dodgy as you lot 🙂
7 years of sporadic SVR updates incoming! YAY!
Welcome to the club, I love my 2013 facelift XFR! Enjoy, but be careful in the winter she's going to be a bit of a handful but I'm sure you're up to it 🙂
@John Thomas just turn off the traction control and you're in 1950s F1 mode all year round too ;-)))
Nice purchase Mr B., look forward to seeing future shenanigans.
I got the 250 facelift. I ended up with the 3.0 D as I was after the fuel economy. I drive some long distances in Oz but, it really is a wonderful place to be.
One of the best sounding production car engines I've heard when it's on full chat. Search youtube for jaguar xfr high speed test - the sound is incredible, like a world war two fighter plane dive bombing as it goes past.
My son has this beautiful machine, supercharged on wheels and front bonnet. A much deeper red, maybe this pillar box red is just rendered by my tablet.
He tells me only 1200 were made in this spec, and it took over 2 years to find one in this condition.
I have one and absolutely love it. At the moment I have to use it for work so the miles are piling on but it does make me smile.
I have never purchased a car where the dealer didn't put AT LEAST 1/4 tank of fuel in it. Most of the time, they've filled it up. Still. A beautiful car. Much nicer than the trash in my yard... although my wife loves her Audi. I will add that Ben has added... a certain... flair to the content. Well done.
Yeah the dealer seemed a right bellend
I'm currently looking to get an XKR prefacelift... thanks for this video, I'm sold!
Stunning car. That V8 is just the DB’s. The whole package is just fabulous
I made the mistake of going up against a Jag F-Pace with that engine in it with my turbo Mazda CX-5 at a stoplight-stoplight. Needless to say I didn’t see the badges until I caught up to him at the next light. Let’s just say that a turbo 2.5 doesn’t hold up well to a supercharged 5.0. 💨😆😂
Well, congrats, that‘s a nice „new“ ride! 😁 Can‘t wait for what‘s to come.
That's so funny my overalls and stickers just arrived and now a new channel to go with it I can't wait
I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with that drivetrain. I have an XFR and a 1982 Fiat Spider. They both are running great right now and I hope they stay that way but it would be a mad scientist's dream to drop 510 HP in a Spider!
Well underrated car, silly fast (in reality rather than just pure stats), pretty sweet handling, very refined & waftable. They are quite thirsty though!
This would make a decent engine for an MG SV.
I think that the reason why they brought it
Beats using a Coyote.
Think you might be on to something there 👀
Duh...
Do you think they can double the power out of it for the mg?
Very nice, looks great in red.
This is fantastic and outstandingly entertaining!
I've had one of these a few years now and it's nuts. The 0-60 time really doesn't do it justice. They can very easily be taken up to 700bhp with not a lot of mods
What mods
Very impressed with the production quality (and the
Jaaaaag)
Thank you, I try!
Went from 1.2miles to 5 somone has been thrashing that before you got the keys
Was thinking the same thing
@@gavinbartram6326 As Richard said, that was him confusing the odometer with the range display. Usually range estimate doesn't display such low values (for obvious reasons). They just say "refuel now!" when it dips below 30km or so.
My dad has a 2010 XFR had it for 3 years has 54k miles literally 0 problems apart for the ac that was an easy fix. We fitted a 1 of 1 Cat back Xpipe. No other xfr sounds like ours
That's a very pretty car, some people would think a battery pack and four wheel drive would go well with that shell.
That does sound quite lovely at the end there. I'm just logging on to Pistonheads to see what price they go for (just a little christmas gift - nothing to see here wife)..
Welcome to the jag world,Awsome cars now
Drove one around Gayden test track a few years back, limiter will chime in at 173mph!
I’ve had one for 4 yrs now it’s a great car, mine has all the trimmings and it’s gorgeous you will spend a lot of time at the filling station lol.
Selling mine in the new year sadly for something more sensible.
Are you still selling the car? Left hand or right hand drive?
@@red9350 hi sorry it went a while ago thanks
Noice! Same age and spec as my Portfolio S Pretty much (I had the B&W Stereo, plush mats and VERY expensive headlining) . If the alarm goes off randomly it's a feature. There's a simple fix. I also had both lower Rear wishbones replaced for knackered bushes but you shouldn't be worried about that if it's only short-term.
BOMfunk MC's, freestylin'.
hope the new channel works out well. We have wondered what you guys do between Binky updates. I suspect Nik gets shoved into a closet full of brackets . Some of the things I like here is that one sees what the UK looks like from ground level. Pretty much like anywhgere else. Were I a tourist in the UK or just about anywhere else I would be looking in garages and sheds out behind the barns and the like. Yiur Jaguar here looks like the perfect candidate to swap a driveline out of and into your 'business killer MG' enough leftover parts to finance a new set of tires and some lunch.
i would have to say that the facelift models are better looking than these older ones .
Good luck!
That is a sweet car a beast of one a lovey car with a lot of power enjoy be safe
You need the Australian Haltech engine management systems, they'll do the lot.
Paramount exhaust system and stage 2 tune - will see 550 + (if you need it) lovely car, like it lots !
You can get 600. Trust me, I know ;-)
I've got the 3L XF and I am now crying
I am engaging with this engaging content!
New BOM channel! Shut up and take my money! .... errr wait a sec.... no... please don't shut up please keep sending us what ever you crazy lot can find the time to film! :)
Yeah. this is the content I've been waiting for
Not a boooooring colour - GOOD!!!
Love the colour of it!
Jags should NEVER be red. Black or silver, or BRG at a pinch. Ferraris should be red. Sorry. :-P :-D
Yeh! New stuff from BOM. Wait, wasn't there a Mini project at one point?
most amazing car i've ever had no probs last 60k miles
After months of withdrawal from BOS why have I not found this channel before????
Managed to get one for just over 8k a month ago. Safe to say about 300in petrol this month 😂😂😂. Just an insane car. Keep an eye on the supercharger coupler knock and waterpump with hoses. Maybe a gearbox service and diff oil if it hasn't had that done. Following!
A superb car!
Well done great first video you looked like a experienced pro 👏 im gonna start a TH-cam channel soon
Any tips advice for me
Best wishes
1/2 a mile from me. Should have dropped in for a tea. Proper dodgy place to buy a car from!!
There's a story about the purchase. Richard was locked into the flat above the showroom on the Tuesday while 6 coppers looked around the lot...
@@bom-tv The Police know a dodgy character when they see one ;- )
Don’t know much about car sales in the UK but here in the states those types of used car dealerships have a justifiably poor reputation. Their inventory consists mostly of salvage title cars bought by Eastern Europeans, dodgily repaired and sold to unsuspecting buyers. They also purchase vehicles sent to auction by franchise dealers because they’re too expensive properly repair.
I saw this one trough facebook but didnt realise bom tv already existed. Any content upcoming soon?
Savage cars. I just traded my 2011 XF for an F Pace..... 🙈 the XF was a fabulous car but yes tyres and brakes disappear fast. And cheap aftermarket disks and pads won’t work for long. Expect to replace door locks and window regs too.
Hey Ben! Wanna come take some glamor shots of my Forester? lol You are damn good with that camera.
Proud early subscriber. Woo.
Nice, can't wait for the second channel. Was that Box End Park you did the interview at?
It was.
I have a petrol 3.0 litre xf and love it, but, the 5. Litre SC is definitely the XF ultimate.
Subscribed with the bell!
I’ve got an XF and this model doesn’t support Bluetooth streaming music, get a PALOVUE Bluetooth 5.0 Receiver off Amazon, best £16.99 I’ve ever spent and Uber reliable connection wise.
It would be great fun to put that into a Mini Moke.
Seriously considering getting rid of my pathetically unreliable E60 M5 (a total money pit) for one of these.
Do it
Is the engine going into the MG Power SV? That had a V8.
These never had the HK stereo!! BMWs do! This has the Bowers and Wilkins stereo, which is far BETTER!
I scratched the big supercharged V8 itch a few years ago by buying an E55k merc. The novelty of the power and sound soon wore of when the highest MPG i could achieve was 20 by driving like my grandma.
Note to self......do not type XFR into the ebay search bar.
I have got over 32mpg in my XFR. Also the only $ i have spent on repairs is $28 coolant hose for the transmission cooler and a couple batteries in 6 years.
Engine for the mg?
seems like a pretty nice car to pull the mill out of.
what do you do w/ what's left?
Put something bigger in 😂
So this was a shopping trip to find the donor vehicle for the mad MG?
Will this be a donor for the MG?
Did they not have any other colour apart from PINK ?
What is it with British dealers and giving you a car with fuck-all in the tank? I remember my dad picking up a used Toyota mumblety years ago and having the same thing, not enough petrol in it to get to a petrol station. In America, they'd get shut down if it wasn't as close to full as they could get it...
I guess because fuel is so much more expensive here 🤷🏻♂️😭
We picked up a nice little Rover 216S in the early 90s from a scurrilous little dealer and the poor bloody thing literally ran out of fuel in the premises as we drove out!
The tightwads had to put a whole Jerry can in to get her moving again as she was blocking a shared access road, haha!
Turned out to be a cracking little car though despite such a bad start thanks to a skinflint outfit!
Distance till empty goes up after you drove it for a bit? Whoever drove it before you must have gave it a hot supper :P
What happened Richard? Did you get tired of waiting for Binky to be finished, or just missing the raw performance of the C1?
Your putting it in the MG ? wow
only just found this can you please make it into project 8 jagggggg
Is this engine going in the MG?
Is that jag going to be a donor for your mg sv ?
Is it going into the MG?
Perfect fit for the carbon MG. What’s the latest with that project, did any parts surface after the last video on it?
There is a video on youtube of a channel talking about to 1001hp version of the MG and how the PR people overhyped the car and they then road tested the normal MG SV car. The channel was lent the car from one of the rover designers and he set up shop selling and building the MG SC cars due to he had brought most of the bodies and parts of the car that where available - I think the video said he has 64 bodies and enough parts to build 62 cars
aj133 engine?
20 quid, I put more than that in the daughter's corsa when I borrow it, and it's always on empty lol.
That's going in the MG then?
I wanted to swap one of those into a Ford Focus. I then remembered I don't have the fabricating know how that Nik does, so that project would have quickly faceplanted.
All you really need is to take it one bracket at a time ;)
You would probably still have finished it quicker 😅
@@vladx2 Haha, boogerwelds for days!
It sure isn't pretty but it does look like fun. It's even got SUPERCHARGED wheels. They must be very spinny.
When you have covid lockdown blues, so you buy a 500hp Jaaaaaaaaaaaaag (said in Clarkson’s voice)
I bet there was a rush to get jaaaag number plate as soon as that word came from clarkson's lips,or was it the hamster😅
Yeah. Did that aswell. 😱
so any updates on this?
This should be fun :)
So.
You bought a Jag as a donor?
Just for the beast of an engine.
How is the xfr? perhaps a followup vid 😇
more chance platting fog
iNSTANTLY SUBSCRIBES WITH NOTIFICATIONS AND GOES TO COMMENTS BEFORE WATCHING OR TURNING OFF CAPS LOCK
Wait no USB? ... My 2008 xf has a USB port and it's a premium Lux
Are you going to put the running gear in the Carbon MG body?
I'm pretty sure it's going to the Celia.
@@AnttiBrax where are they going to put the Mini engine?
Was that a Lexus main dealer?
JAG FAM 😎
The guy in the showroom was quite terse when you told him you were filming. Customer service👎
plus they sold him a car with no gas in it! LOL
No that's fair enough. I can't say I'd be stoked if someone came in and filmed in my store.
@@Ziccolumbia Good job it runs on petrol then
Everyone thinks the engine is going in the SV when its more likely the SV body will go on this.
I remember posting I thought this was the right engine for the MG back on The End is Neigh. It's just such a good engine, wafts of torque
