lovely, my dad had an xjr-s. be warned....
don't take it to a jaguar specialist - you will be poor
don't try and re gas the air con - it will never work
the gay hand brake is something you will have to get used to!

ohhh nice buy, looks in good condition, hows the rust?
shouldnt set him back too much if he knows what hes doing and can restore/maintain himself
welcome to the old Jag world and good luck
oh and how much indeed did it cost?

had a poke around tonite and first impressions are pretty good. small hole in o/s sill near seat mount plate and sh*tty paintwork(looks 10 times better in photo than in the flesh!) are the only bad things( upto now  ). Good points new discs/pads all round new pirellis all round new front subframe new fuel tank 90000 miles with fsh!! thats about it upto now but depending on what else I find will determine if it gets A- scrapped B- restored to original spec c- restored and stripped to build a track day loon(twr rep)  At the mo option c is looking promising ;D Paul  |
