What are your favorites?

I like this idea..

Were the Jags painted or (dull) polished metal?

I also like the colour of my honda's engine. (without the oil)

matte silver engine and black rocker cover.. possibly a patterned one with the pattern in the silver.. :)

Much older jag and not twin cam but take a look at these, couldn't get a better shot too many people crowding around.

Anyways, absolutely the best engine bay I've ever seen. And the pics don't do justice, everything is painted polished, or plated in something beautifully.

To me this Jag seemed to be one of those money spending restorations rather than effort, but I may be wrong the owner might have skills.

Out of the factory they were a an unpolished matt alloy - all the polishing has been done by individual enthusiasts

Some later jag (70-80s I think) Had black painted rocker covers with unpainted stripes along the top that were fins, kinda.
