1990 Jaguar XJS V12 Rogue Edition by Bryan Pontifes

This 1990 Jaguar XJS V12 Rogue Edition, owned by Bryan Pontifes, represents a unique blend of classic Jaguar elegance and modern engineering. Gifted as a reward for academic excellence, the car features a notable 2JZ-GTE engine swap by Aaron from Driftmotion, replacing the original V12. Bryan, who has a deep-rooted enthusiasm for Jaguars, embraced the project, making it a personal masterpiece by adding a custom front fascia and other refinements. Enhancements like 18-inch BBS LM wheels and a fully restored interior with Santorini Black paint highlight the sophisticated and understated styling of this XJS. Despite potential garage queen status, Bryan uses the car as a daily driver, furthering a personal bond that goes beyond mere ownership. The modifications extend to functionality, with a Koyorad radiator ensuring all systems perform as they should. Bryan continues to enjoy the smooth but potent performance of the turbocharged JZ engine, injecting his youthful spirit and personal narrative into this classic English coupe.
