The 'boat anchor' as it was referred to, not only won LeMans, it won quite a few other races, as well. Recall that the 'boat anchor' was developed by a small independent company with no outside resources, recovering from a war in which its factories and offices had been bombed repeatedly, and further had been converted to production of weapons rather than automobiles. Against that backdrop, they designed and built the 'boat anchor\". Which turned out to be one of the most successful automobile engines ever built, and was in production for decades. \n\nThis is not to take anything away from the SBC, which is a fine engine (I have one of each, both the 'boat anchor' and a 283 SBC.) But the engines in old Jaguars are jewels- they have quite a bit of power, they are very reliable when maintained, they sound glorious, and the cars perform beautifully with them. This engine does not need anything at all other than a loving new owner. \n\nA short disquisition on anchors: there is a popular misconception that any heavy object dropped overboard will serve as an anchor. No, it won't. Properly designed anchors are frequently rather light in weight (Fortress anchors, for example), and the tests of an anchor's merit are concerned with its ability to bury quickly and stay engaged with the sea bed, NOT disengage from the sea bed when the wind direction shifts, and the anchored vessel is tugging on the anchor chain and rode from a different direction than when first deployed, and finally be easy to retrieve when it's time to weigh anchor and proceed. None of these concerns are adequately addressed by a merely heavy object. Describing the Jaguar six as a boat anchor not only insults the engine itself, it also betrays a lack of understanding of what makes a good boat anchor.", "likes": 39, "timestamp": 1603550637, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 5233560, "authorName": "Arekusan", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/arekusan/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@jim_rosenthal...
