I believe that there is just a big empty space under the bonnet.

Well that's no challenge! Anybody can fit a humungous engine in the back (physically, not technically), loads of space!

Have a rifle in whsmiths for classic and sportscar and there goodwood report page 11 - alledgedlly - the transit was built by Jaguar as a mule for the XJ220 and was driven from stoke to goodwood and back by Jag specailist Don Law.... it does mention 179 mph at milbrook... but I think thats a little white lie :shock:

No mule as in disguise - like the freelanders that were disguised as maestro vans, test mule so the oppostion didn't know what was being made. (have a look on http://www.austin-rover.co.uk under freelander to see what I meant to say.)
