At the same time if the AUs had Jag running gear there would be a handful used as taxis, not thousands |

Probably got their wires crossed; AU Intech engine was sent over to Jaguar for bottom end resdign - rephased crank to get substantial improvements. If it has the optional IRS there is some heratige there too....

Ok cool
Drawn a brank with hunting for info about the IRS setup. Having looked at the schematics of it, it seems very overcomplicated to be something JLR would have knocked together - and to build that into what is a single-market and very low-build car like the falcon. I would have said BMW had a hand in it (wrong era I think....), but I just can't find any info about it at all... I might post in the "Ford - 6" section about the Jag involvement, but I really dont think anyone would have much of a clue - its fairly obscure

Was a Ford service manager when AU was released - internal memos spelled out Jaguars involvement.
Don't have copies any more, but was plenty of press releases around at the time; Quote:
IRS was loosely based on the Mustang SVT Cobra IRS, which in turn was a modified Jaguar design. Ford tech dept was cagy about that one, claiming it as an 'all aussie' design; Quote:
