Hi All, I've been a consistent lurker for a while.
I have followed AVOS and CAMBO351's builds in particular over the years.

There are a number of Jaguars in our family (Between my father and myself) including in no particular order,
Mark 2 race car (previous group N front runner),
a custom built tarmac rally Etype low drag replica,
3 low drag replica's in the build, including wide angle heads and one with an aluminium block (oh yes!),
a lovely manual Mark 9 (two tone olive green over cream),
a street Mark 2 3.8 litre manual on wires (high compression built motor still being run in),
an XK140 roadster with an 8 year old rotisserie restoration,
an S type with a 4 speed automatic GMH gearbox upgrade (nearly mechanically complete), and an ice blue immaculate but original one owner 420G.

I have two w116 mercedes Saloons, a C class with a 2Jzgte engine conversion that has 340 hp at the wheels,
a 323i manual e46 BMW for the wife, with a Toyota Prado for offroad duties, with a Jza80 toyota supra that is built for tarmac rallies and fast road circuits (600hp low boost, 750hp high boost at the wheels).

I am here because I have wanted an XJR for a while, and will be replacing the big HP merc and smaller BMW with the one car as having so many has become 'troublesome' on the home front.

Cheers, DJ

 

Q: How do I edit my original post, and how do I enter returns so that my post doesn't read as one block of text (The return key didn't work in my post above?) cheers

 

Welcome to this friendly Forum, I've put some line breaks in for you.
You need a few posts to get edit and PM privileges-an anti spam thing.
What can I say about your car list - you own more Jags than the rest of the Forum combined!
I'm sure you know your way round so just enjoy your membership here.

 

Hi Steve, Thank you, that makes sense. I'll just keep my posts short until I am activated. : )

 

Welcome to the forum DJ,

A few years! That's almost gone beyond lurking to stalking.

No need for links as you'll know your way around.

Enjoy the search for the right XJR and continue to enjoy the forum.

Graham

 

Thanks for the welcome Graham, I like your coupe by the way.

 

Welcome to the forum DJ,

Good to have you with us.
Enjoy the forum.

If you haven't already done so you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

 

Hey DJ, so you made it then, welcome on board mate.

See from your sig that it's an X308 XJR on the shopping list now? What happened to the XJR6? I bet the V8's with Avos' Twin-Screw changed your mind

 

Yes they did! The xjr6 appeals with xjengineer's potential mods and the $10k price differential, BUT Justen over at pf has a kenne belle 2.6 for sale - who'd a thunk?!!

 

Don't want to dampen your enthusiasm, but the KB's from Avos' kit are pretty heavily modified. The housing needs some machining and they use a custom snout which is Avos' own design.

Get in touch with him about pricing (it's not discussed openly) you will be surprised, it's not as expensive as people think. For the Stage 1 at least anyhow...
