I am starting to warm to this epic jag
In its day it was one of the quickest saloons around,0 to 60 in 6 seconds & limited to 155mph, beating Mercedes & bmw & forcing them to up their game, it’s on a par with the lotus Carlton, try picking one of those up for £800, it is so very understated, not even a boot lip spoiler, just a boot badge the size of a Bourbon biscuit & a mesh grille
I have removed the alternator, which involved jacking up the drivers side & removing the wheel, allowing me to have a bit of a prod, and the prognosis is not favourable, the end of the sill on both sides has dissolved
I’ll fit the new alternator when it turns up & see what the mot guy has to say
