Can anyone identify the maker of this Jaguar V12 5 speed conversion? I’m hoping someone might recognize the bellhousing.
A few years back I was gifted an engineless rust free XJ6C, along with all the metal, hinges, and bumpers to convert it to a Series I Daimler front end. Included was a new interior, and quite a collection of parts. Seemed the previous owner was a serious eBay trawler. Nice guy too and he was happy to see the albatross leaving.
The car was free. For $2k, he tossed in the Tremec and two pedal boxes. I didn’t like the drag racing clutch he had and wanted money for. I maybe have a flywheel, I can’t recall, there’s lots of boxes.
Anyway knowing who made the bellhousing might suggest this was a kit, or maybe it’s just a pile of bits. This winters project is to mechanically merge the XJ6C with an 83 XJS and get it running. Putting it together to see why is missing. Then the following spring take it apart again to paint and rebuild various bits (suspension etc).
