Default Long Beach CA checks in....

'96 x300 white over tan, 137,000 miles, 2nd Jag ever. First was a light blue over navy '71 XJ6. I never forgot that car, here I am again.

I wonder if it's just me, the 40 years since, or if that '71 wasn't just a wee bit sweeter of a car.

NO pics as I don't see how to upload them.

Hello Milt and welcome to jaguarforums.com. I know that you are anxious to get started and we are anxious to meet you and talk about your car. We have a baseline / criteria that must be met before full access can be granted. Please enjoy the forum and be patient once the baseline has been satisfied full access will be granted. Please continue to post and accept my welcome to the forum.

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.

Welcome to the forum, just think how you will feel about the X300 in another 40 years

Yes, thanks. I am an experienced forum user, especially this format. I did miss the 3 day, 10 post requirements which is new to me and a very good idea RE the spam.

40 years with the x300 won't happen as I'm 65. I may have to find a '71 that is in top shape and take it for a drive just to compare. No mistake, the '96 is a great car and I looked for specifically an x300 because of the inline 6.

I'm sure I won't miss the Lucas electrics.
