No you can’t have this for your bedroom.

There's a trike running around here with one of those in with a auto box, not as pretty though, but hell it's fast if you can keep the front wheel down.
 
I can see it’s a v something. What is it. The valley is very narrow and the heads are an interesting configuration.
 
Big problem with the inlets and the bends which causes gas/fuel condensing at the corners of the bends, inlet tracts should be straight and at about 45% to the valve, ok if it was direct fuel injection into the cylinders, not with su carbs.

I agree Trev but  if they were straight you wouldn't be able to see over the bonnet, plus the fact that HIF44 SU carbs are no good at 45% angles, the maximum angle for a SU is 30%, even with the original CD Stromberg carburettors (Jaguar didn't fit SU carburettors so these are an aftermarket upgrade) which aren't as tall as SU's they would still be too high.
Jaguar kept the bent intake manifolds even with fuel inject so they must have been happy with them
