Sounds like a very good engine. The 3.2 XJ40 that I had (no catalyser) was at maximum at 120 mph, so 'strong acceleration' at 112 mph is impressive. Cheers, apax.


I had the impression that all 3.2-engined XJ40 was equipped with catalysts ?? Mine now has only the 2 underfloor cats left...

I did not want to test topspeed yesterday, but I think I have seen 210 kph (130 mph) listed as topspeed for the 3.2.
It surely felt like I would have reached that fairly easy...  Cheesy
I better finish the work on bushings and dampers before trying again...
