How do you best describe the stunningly beautiful Jaguar XJ Coupé? Sports car? Grand Tourer? 'Executive Coupé' is what the factory decided to called it. A fitting description no doubt. Available with either the classic 4,2l straight-six XK engine or the silky-smooth new 5,3l V12. Most customers choose the smaller powerplant. However, it came with two carburettors only, as opposed to the three SU setup of the E-Type. And the V12 was only available with the automatic gearbox. So, there was really no alternative if you wanted an involving Grand Tourer. Belgian collector friend Christan Poulet sourced a lovely and highly original XJ6C 4,2 with the rare and desirable manual gearbox some time ago. This video tells the story of how he created the perfect Grand Tourer, that Browns Lane never built, by converting the engine to three SU carburettors, with a new intake manifold and K&N filters. The result is nothing short of stunning with a gorgeously sounding and free-breathing engine. This is part 1, wherein we learn about the conversion. Part 2 with a test drive to follow soon.
