Introducing ... Me
Greetings all,
I just joined this forum so as to share information with the Jaguar experts here.
I am probably one of the only people on Earth who owns multiple Jaguars and multiple El Caminos. Go figure
In the mid 1980s I owned a 1976 XJS. I sold it a couple years after buying it (thankfully).
Then about 20 years later I decided to get a (hopefully) better one since the prices for nice ones seemed to be favorable.
So I then found the earliest of my three current Jaguars: a 1983 XJS HE coupe with 32,000 actual miles.
Then a few years after that I bought a 56,000 mile 1986 XJS HE coupe. This one has been sort of a "problem child", but I'm working through it and I think I'll get it sorted out with the help of folks here.
And now I'm in the process of acquiring a 2006 Jaguar XKR convertible Victory Edition. I'm really looking forward to that one (already made a deal on one, currently awaiting transport of it to my location).
I'll post some pictures once my new one arrives.

It's a pretty big Earth, so there Must be someone out there with a similar car collection to yours. Maybe not Exactly, but similar.

Welcome.
An XJ-S fleet, well done.
We had 8 Jags at one time, NOT counting the 3 the kids had, now back to 2, old age is a strange thing they tell me.
The withdrawals are terrible, so "the minister for everything" is looking at another XJ-S, oh boy.

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.
I can see you've already found your way to the XK8/XKR forum so there's no need for a link to it from me. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.
You can also visit the US Central Region forum by following this link US Central - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to find other members in your region.
Enjoy the forums.

You just never know! When I purchased a Rolls-Royce several years back, I figured I was probably the only person in the world who owned both a Rolls and a Ford Pinto. Then, a few months later, I purchased a second Pinto. It was a very nice, low mileage, car from California. It came complete with documentation of everything that was ever done to it and a photo album full of pictures of the car from when it was brand new in 1972. There it was, in a picture taken when it was brand new, parked in the owner's garage alongside his white Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow! Go figure!

Rolls Royce and Pinto ...
That is an odd combo !
And you are not even the first, apparently.
