Default Hello from Hobart, Australia.

Hi, went to a lunch with our post vintage car club in our 1976 VW Beetle and came home with a 1976 Jaguar XJ6. The wife gave me a nudge when the elderly gentleman (older than my 72 years) told everybody he had to sell it.

Needs a little mechanical work, the rear suspension, brakes, half shaft seals and bearings all shot. No a/c and a couple of other small problems which I will fix quickly.

Have found the information on this site invaluable.

Cheers

Welcome to the forum.
That sounds like a touch more than little work, but all the info is here.
