Default Dropped in to say G'day!

Hi from downunder.
Yes I am a first time Jag owner.
Bought myself a lovely one owner 29,000km (approx 17,000 miles)S-Type R (M45134) from a retired gentleman, who could not resist the new XF SV8.
It has a full history, aspen green with ivory interior and sat nav.
New price for this car in Aust. was approx. US$160,000! I am happy to say I paid a lot less than that.

I also own a 1976 Triumph Stag, 1977 Triumph 2500 S, as well as a Citroen C5!

Great to see such a professional looking site with so many passionate members.
Please keep up the good work.

I shall be in the US (New York and New Hampshire) from the end of September this year; any good suggestions for parts suppliers around that neck of the woods?
I have posted my wish list in the wanted classifieds. Problem is things here are either hard to obtain and ridiculously expensive.

Cheers for now.

John

I don't know of anyone in that particular area. Be sure to bring your VIN and remind them that's it's not a USA spec car. Most things this won't change, but there are some differences. Don't want to get him with a box of odds and ends that won't fit!
