Can confirm the Lorimer & Findlay Lister looks rather tasty.
Nearly bought a '92 XJRS a few years ago. Intoxicating car with a brilliant surefootedness and plenty of lazy power. Hesitated while researching potential probs and it was sold - end up bought 928 S4. My main worry on the Jag was the Zytek management system, which few jag 'experts' appear to know much about, plus the availability of bespoke engine parts after TWR crashed and burned.
Worth a thought - later on I owned a '94 6.0L XJS - very nice car with performance similar to the XJRS, without the ultimate handling finesse, but very good car. Production engineered, millions of spares etc. AJ6 Engineering mods to ECU, manifolds, exhaust etc can (apparently) get the late 6.0 cars to 62 in 5.5secs! Check out their site - their reputation is second to none and all the mods come to a couple of grand. Best 6.0 must be around £6-7k.
XJRS prices seem to run £5-9k. Nice looking black one on here. (sorry no links, currently still celebrating Rangers european win!!)

anyone have a web address for them, as I can't seem to find one
If you mean Lorimer&Findlay, I don't think they have a site - but you can get them on 0141 950 6688 Peter Lorimer.
From what I recall, the car is LISTER bodied/interior, but not the mega monster engine - 5.3L, but 'breated on' cam etc.IIRC
well no-one I know has a good word for AJ6 eng and we tested one and found it was 29bhp (YES) down on the stock engine.
U can read an article here.....about a very well documented test back to back to get the power back then get a REAL 40bhp GAIN!

And another guy from "simply performance" gatwick has exactly the same independent and verified opinion, and he owns not 1 but 2 Lister storms.....7.5L twin compressor 700bhp, so he should know!
