I remember it being offered for sale a couple of times before. Oddly, no mention of JLR factory build in those days.

There are a few threads about it on xj40.com.

In 2014: https://www.xj40.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=7527

In 2012: https://www.xj40.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4616

IIRC it was also offered in 2009.

Jaguar was taken over by TATA to form JLR in 2008 - but the heritage part was called JDHT until a fair bit later.

That’s not going to work, an N/A Prima makes a din that would wake the dead!
One local undertaker had a fleet of KV6 powered Rover 800s. I'm surprised that the steam caused by the fucked head gaskets didn't put the fire out in the crematorium.

Officially it was the Perkins MDI in automotive applications and officially it made no more noise that a 1.6S series when installed in a Montego. The noise was just 'of a different order'.

It doesn't actually look any worse than a normal 206, which I admit isn't a very high bar.

Did the so called designer get paid by the number of holes in the bodywork?

There you are, it's called Mr Darcey. If you look closely it has one slight fault, its absolutely fucking horrible.

Don't read the advert.

It makes LBFs monologues seem like brief notes.
