Default New owner of Garage find XJ12C, 1992!

Hello,
My new car is far more interesting than I, so to lead the introduction please welcome into your group a seemingly bone stock lovely one owner 1976 XJ12C with 37k miles, parked in a heated garage since 1992 (Not a typo!) due to a BW12 transmission with no forward gears.
My name is Sean, I live in Reno, NV. and am a member of the Reno British Car club. Highlight Items of possible common interest I own are; a Supercharged 1958 MG Magnette, BSA 441 shoothing star & 250 Starfire, 1958 Lambretta series I, IWC, Waldan international. Some interesting vehicles I have owned and sold; Ferrari 400ia, Citroen DS21, Triumph Spitfire, Norton Commando, Ducati's, Cagiva's and a Motoguzzi in a pear tree.
I have been a lurker here for a few months since my acquisition trying to get the car up and running and will post a follow up in the v12 section.
I will upload a picture asap.

Best Regards,
Sean

Welcome to the forum Sean,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums. That's an interesting collection of past and present vehicles.

It sounds like you've already found your way to the XJ6 & XJ12 Series I, II & III forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

You can also visit the US Western Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/western-us-ak-ca-nv-ut-hi-wa-id-38/
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Welcome Sean! The XJ12C is one of my favorite Jags. I'm all over jealous! What a cool barn find! Best of luck with getting it sorted.
