Default Hello from California!

Just found the forum as I was looking for parts for my 1963 MK2 3.8 manual with overdrive. It was my grandmother's car (mother's family from England, grandfather was a mechanic specializing in in British Cars. He owned a shop in Oakland CA, Ward Motors in the 60's-80's). My grandparents bought the Jag new in 63 and it has been in the family ever since. All original except for 3 point seat belts in the front. Runs and drives but is in need of a tune up so I started looking for spark plugs, air filters, etc. I have boxes of parts for British Cars from the 60's-70's that I am sorting through. If you need something PM me, otherwise i'll be posting what I find and don't need.

Chris
