That's forum member Marty Jansen's ("Frameman") car of Jule Enterprises. You can see more on his website: https://www.jule-enterprises.com/projects/100-4-v12-supercharged/ It's a beautiful piece of work and someday I hope to be able to check it out in person.

Hi Rick.... did you read down to the bottom and then click on the british v8 link? It will bring you to the whole convertion with many great pictures! I had thoughts of cramming a Jag 3.8 six in a Big Healey someday! This way i could drive a Healey and a Jag At the same time and save on garage space! Nice to see a V12 shoe horns in there rather nicely!:victorious:

Maybe you'd like Aaron Couper's Jag-engined Sprite as well: https://www.britishv8.org/Other/AaronCouper.htm The work on this car and Marty's is really incredible and done to a very high standard.

Looking at that sprite convertion makes me want to start looking for a 3.8 Jag motor and store it away until im ready for a bn4 convertion.....that sprite has almost all of my ideas i want to incorporate in my future project! I wanted to start with a Jules Frame with rack and pinion to get things started, and maybe a I.R.S rear suspension with 4 wheel disk brakes. I want the outside and interior to look bone stock. However, i would remove the stock bumpers and add lucas driving lamps for a cleaner look. I hope i can follow through with it someday!

Sounds like a very nice concept. The Jag DOHC has to be one of the prettiest motors ever made. Might as well put a 5 speed conversion in there while you are making up your wish list.
