what wonderful shots of that picnic table .....

just love that car,stunning build and out of the box thinking....A true example how the S should have looked to start with..

This car is nuts! Having owned a manual and two automatic S types, i think i'd personally have left the car auto but maybe a better box would make a difference. Maybe someday i'll get to see this car in person at a show somewhere.

Awesome car, Awesome build. Love it 😍

Great car, would love to have seen more of it though and also some idea of costs to build.

Definitely favorite STR. Love it.

Love the panel swaps and the back door door pulls. I'd do that to mine. But must be outrageously expensive

Thank you 🙏

One of very few cars with genuine double a-arm double wishbone suspension front and rear. I’d love to manual swap a 3.0l x200 and strip the guts out of it for fast road and track use. They look unreal and it’d be bloody unique! As this demonstrates.

Nice, keep the STR alive

Such a cool build wish I could chuck a manual in my str 😆

Fantastic stuff - plans on doing another young JEC meet at Caffine & Machine? Wasn’t able to make the first one

A trully commendable effort! When will you offer an automatic transmission package? I feel that a manual is not in the character of the car, and makes you slower on the 1/4. I think it was an enormous effort on your part sniffing the CAN so that everything works, but you would have much to gain were you to make the automatic work with your standalone. I know it's much easier to have a manual work rather than take up the way more difficult task of integrating the ZF automatic, but the rewards would be great, should you pursue that course. We (the Jag community) now have software for the Jag 6HP26 that makes it shift quick, and raise the torque limits. I actually tried contacting you a couple of times for my twin screw XJR, alas to no avail...

I’ve got a beautiful black 07 60,000mile str. not too many options available performance wise. could you give me an idea on the manual tranny and or other components that are needed along with. briefly. any cams upgrades available compatibility anything ?

Hard to take one's aesthetic sense seriously when they've defaced themselves so egregiously. Sharp car. Awful tats.
