I would fix it and give it back to a friend.  If not keep and rock out with Shaguar license plates.

Didn't you you just post a whole thread about how you dislike fuel injection, overhead cams, VVT and the like?  Based on that, I would say that a modern Jaguar with all that stuff, plus a supercharger is not going to be very fun for you. 

"Gifts" with strings attached are a good way to end a friendship. To paraphrase, "You can have the car but you cannot sell it" seems complicated.

Best of luck.

In reply to Datsun310Guy :

It's not hard to do if it's only one head gasket. But getting the other head off without a head pulling tool can be a major wrestling match. Easier to pull the engine first. 
V12's aren't known for blowing head gaskets unless 87 octane gasoline is used  and the engine is thrashed ( 11.5-1 compression ratio )

Colorado makes the seller take care of smog too.  Pretty common thing...

Peter is unhappy with the XKR again.

I'm suggesting he offer it here.

But he is in CA, so not sure if there are many who would be interested at any price.

A quick internet search shows these cars eat head gaskets like I eat tacos.  Make it challenge priced and I may do something stupid that could turn out really awesome myself......
