Hello all. My connection with Jaguar started back in 1961, having come home from the hospital as a new baby in my parents Mark VII. A short time later, a Mark IX came along (still in my father's garage), and after a couple of Land Rovers a 420 in 1972, and a stream of others.

When I took my licence at 16 I used my father's silver 1968 420 (another car that is still in my father's garage). At 22 I bought my first Jaguar, the 448th XJS, a burgundy 1975 car. Since then I have had a few Jaguars.

My oldest son took his driver's licence on one of my silver Jaguars, and my youngest son is very likely going to do the same in a black XJR (perhaps he can be talked in to staying on the second generation silver Jaguar route).

Never having owned an American car, and primarily having English cars, I have passed that on to my two sons. My eldest at 21 now has a 1978 Mini, and my youngest at 16 has a 1983 TVR Tasmin.

We also have the 2001 XJR, 2002 XK8, 2008 XJR, 1985 TVR 350i FHC, and 1994 TVR Griffith 500 HC.

Live a wee bit east of Toronto in Ontarion Canada.

Cheers,

Rob.
