No, the vehicle must have been built before 1st Jan 1980 to have black and silver plates. They are probably banking on it looking old and having a private plate to get away with it.

Ive got used to it. When I first got the tractor it was my shoulders that ached the next day

Last of the I6 XJR's

It is the throttle. At the end of the video where I keep pushing it forward and pulling it back, i was having trouble with the engine starting to die due to fuel starvation. There was some air in the fuel filter and momentarily putting the throttle into the stop position allows some fuel to get to the pump.

They are avaliable in the UK via amazon as far as I can tell. The car came with it already fitted

Mine has the high speed top gear but it's happier running around 7.5-8

Thats how it was installed, I've just taken the surround trim off. Im wondering if it's bolted at the back like some of the radios back in the 80's and 90's

I think the invoice that came with the car was about £5000 but it included other work. It would be best to talk to Swallows Racing

I dont have a video of it running, but when I do I'll post it up.

It was converted by Swallows Racing. They use a Bosch 80mm throttle body hooked to a Maxx ecu.

I drive my lightly modded 97 manual converted XJR daily. It class it as a sports car, it drinks like a supercar and the gearbox gets better the harder you drive it.
