Default At last, a Jag owner again.

Hello All,
I'm just joining the Forum. I've had a lifelong interest in Jaguars, starting when I was quite young. My Dad had a '59 Mk I years before I was old enough to drive, and then a '56 XK140 FHC that he let me drive to high school.

I have owned a '68 E-type Coupe and a '72 E-type 2+2. However, up until last week, I hadn't owned a Jag since 1982. Hopefully, being delivered to me tomorrow, in the Orlando, Florida area where I live, is my newly purchased 1956 (manufactured in 1955) XK140 MC FHC with overdrive. My wife and I are pretty excited about it.

Anyway, now that I'm again a Jag owner, I wanted to join the Forum. I'm looking forward to sharing experiences with y'all.

Best regards,
Borron Owen

Welcome to the forum Borron,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

A great car and getting harder to find. Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xk120-xk140-xk150-60/ to the XK120/XK140/XK150 forum for help, advice and information.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

You can also visit the US Lower Atlantic Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/lower-atlantic-nc-sc-fl-ga-66/
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Thank you, Graham, for the welcome, and the links. You are correct that this car is getting harder to find. I've been looking for quite a while. I'll post pictures once my Jag arrives at my home. Take good care.

Thank you, Kingfisher. It's feels pretty good to be "home" again with an old Jag in my garage and lots of new friends. Take good care.
