Just regained my 2001 XKR and now to get it back on the road again, started first time after more than 2 years on Saturday, why do things do that when all I wanted to do was crank the engine over for a few mins, so off and ready. So if you see a dusty silver XKR running about the back lanes in North Dorset thats me trying to find someone to MOT the thing!

Hello Abacusman:

Welcome to us! Really great to see a Brit who loves Jags. I am astounded and disapointed at the number of Brits here in Canada who have nothing but bad things to say about Jags. The worst detractors are the expats sometimes.
On the good end, a number of Brits are in the local Jag club so I guess it balances out.

So now that I have talked myself in a circle, umm good luck with that MOT.

Hello and welcome to jaguarforums.com.

Oh one other thing you need to put your car details in your signature. I am speaking of the Year, Make & Model. Without it you may not get the input you are looking for.

Please take a moment and read the information provided to you explaining the rules. Be patient and enjoy the site.

 

Thanks folks, will try and get pictures up ASAP.

 

Always been keen on British Cars, IMHO we produced some of the best ever, but we blew it with underfunding and development from the late 1960's till the eventual demise of Rover Group (the amalgamation of the majority of English manufacturers) in 2005. One of my pet subjects so could go on for hours. As for the ex-pats they probably just remember those days of underfunding, rather than the product today, and the re-fettled and restored product of yesterday!

 

Welcome to the forum and best of luck with the XKR. Have fun here.

Welcome Good choice enjoy the cat. good luck on getting her up and running

 

Wow, Abacusman you have some GREAT cars!!
I was just two weekends ago visiting the local Morgan agent here very near Toronto.
They are also a restoration shop specializing in Brit cars but mainly Jags.

Please let us know how it go's with your XK 8.

Did I already say welcome?

Very good!
