Classic car electrified - E-timer - Jaguar XJS

By surprise I hit this facebook post by the Dutch Automeisje (cargirl) and noticed the XJS being converted into an electric car:

So yes, an electrified XJS.

Clearly it's a lot of work and likely very expensive as well. It's not my cup of tea but I don't mind it really. 

The work was done by this company: https://www.newelectric.nl/ 

Some claim heritage. Others have truly earned it.

Great Jaguar XJ-S publicity photo

Probably from 1984 when there were three models to choose from in the UK. The inline-six AJ6 3.6 litre engine was introduced in the XJ-S in advance of the new 1986 XJ6 saloon (XJ40). The XJ-S V12 continued alongside.
