Post Jaguar Xj Sport (new guy in the room)

Hi all
I'm Gary and live in north wales...(feels like i'm meeting the in-laws for the first time)

Anyway i'm not new to jags just not had one for a number of years, I went into friends garage for some work to be done on my current car and seen this jag 3.2 xj sport (one sexy car)
Any how brought my girlfriend to have a look at it and she said if you want it buy it (wow i hear you say) Its a 1996 (N) auto 4dr interior is stunning (like 5 star hotel stunning) not your AA 5 star were a mechanic goes in and uses is spanners on the toilet seat..

Any information about the car will be gratefully recieved
I want to change the standard stereo in her and the cd auto changer out
I want to fit a mp3 player with sat nav and reverse camera on her


thanks for looking

Run your hand down the outside edge of the panel beneath the dash on the driver's side - it's recessed in there.
