TWR had to find most of the sponsorship etc. to fund the program, while Ford/Jaguar gave the program its official approval and helped out in some of the technical and promitional areas.
There are at least 2 teams, both unnamed, who tried to get Jaguar backing for a prototype engine program a few years back. This was before the F1 program started.
I wonder if Jaguar would be interested if someone started an engine program now? Theres the XK8 V8 that has been developed for Trans Am!
I believe Lister have had sponsorship from a few Jaguar dealers in FIA GT also, so there is interest out there.
Failing that how about making the Prodrive developed Aston Martin V12 available as a customer engine for LMP1!

Jag, is there anywhere on the web where one can find specs. on the TA Jaguar V-8?
Bore, stroke, comp. ratio, horse-power etc.
