Default My Super V8

Hi Guys,
Well I have waved goodbye to my Silver XJ, she has gone today to a very nice gentleman from London.

Some sale shots:




So here is my Super V8, which I have purchased from Herculesuk1/Beavis. This has been a project car of his for the last two years, as documented on the forum.
Main upgrades undertaken:
-X358 conversion
-Portfolio Alloy Vents + Gear Surround
-Respray in Black Cherry (Portfolio Colour)
-Wald spoiler
-Interior swapped for Ivory/Charcoal
-Louder exhaust
-LPG Conversion
-Supercharger Pulley + Caldoofy Intake

Exterior:




Interior:






The true colour of the Black Cherry in the sun:





Has all the usual Super V8 extras, including Adaptive Cruise, Rear Blinds, Rear Headrest Screens. Lacking the rear reclining memory seats (due to the interior swap), but this will be fixed in the next few months, I have a full spare interior.
Just turned 90,000 today. So next job is a service and major detail. Private plate will be swapped over too.

Has the air suspension been replaced with something coil design or has the air suspension been reprogrammed to sit lower? The stance looks excellent.

Thanks for the kind words guys!
Torrid- It is the stock suspension, just lowered by IDS.
Jim-Was great to see you again yesterday, you and Connor & Peter's cars looked spot on.
Cambo- I have known Richard for a while through the forum, he was thinking of selling (new car) and asked if I wanted to buy it. I have your old Arden Sportlines too, just haven't fitted them.

Absolutely beautiful! Personally, it would have been hard to sell your old car, as it was sharp looking as well.

I bet you can't fire it up and take a drive without having a big smile on your face.
