Uh, that's the ugly one with emissions controls that they ruined when
they had to meet federal standards.  I think most Jaguar enthusiasts
prefer the Series l.

Although I'd like to think I'm a puri$t, sometimes it isn't worth it.  If
someone is trying to get another couple of years out of a nice Jag
by swapping engines it's been done before and it'll be done a few
more times.  But it's not a Jaguar anymore.
