Hi I brought a 1974 Jaguar XJ6 S2 a year ago it had been in storage for 24 years, it has done 25,769km's.

Thanks LnrB
About the only thing besides the automatic choke that's was shot was the A/C compressor the rest was me being **** comes from being a Jeep nut as well. I think the radiator with its number of bits to holed in and number of fuels hoses has left me a bit stunned
