Default Greetings from S France and a Newbie

Much to my wife's disdain and total surprise, I have recently acquired my sixth car, a 2000 "S" type 3 litre auto. That does not include the motorhome, the caravan 2 motorbikes and two scooters. Luckily, after almost 50 years of marriage the fun police (wife) is now well accustomed to my weakness for nice but not too expensive vehicles.

It's some years since ownership of my last Jaguar, an XJS 5.3 and, after acquiring my latest cat I just cannot understand why I ever sold the XJS.

Luckily, I live in SW France with plenty of garage/barns accommodation so am somewhat spoilt when it comes to storage (in fact, there's plenty of room for more but, please don't tell the missus).

I couldn't resist my latest purchase as it has just one former owner, with full Jaguar service history and, even the original invoice for £35,000 with it's extras.I am absolutely thrilled with her.

She is currently stabled with my 1999 Mercedes 500CL coupe, a 1998 Saab 9-3 cabriolet, a 1966 Mercedes 250SL (Pagoda) so is in good company. My everyday car, a 2008 Vectra now looks very very boring along with a 1998 Isuzu Trooper 3.2 petrol guzzler which is only ever used to tow a 3 ton trailer when collecting sand, ballast etc for our house renovation.

I do have one favour to ask, I am looking for a Navigation CD for France if anyone can point me in the right direction. That is a CD not a DVD.

Bonne route . . . . Jake

Welcome to the forum Jake,

Great Intro and some collection of barn fillers!

Follow this link S-Type / S type R Supercharged V8 - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the S-Type section for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top there is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

Remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You may also like to visit the Europe Region section by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/europe-42/ to find other members in mainland Europe. You should get help there with Nav discs.

Enjoy the forum.

Graham

Welcome.

A Jag is a Jag is a Jag, and so is the ownership. Many simply DO NOT understand.

Enjoy.
