Hello all, my name is Mike, I live in the tiny town of Somerville, Maine, USA. I bought a 1987 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas, literally last night.

Kind of bought it on a whim, have always loved Jags, and I simply couldn't pass up the deal. She needs a bit of cosmetic work, and a few other minor things, but I drove her home (averaged 22 mpg) without a problem.

I already have a lot of questions on minor issues here and there. but I look forward to driver her. I paid $500 cash for her, in running driving condition. it has options that I have not only never seen, but never even heard of.

I'm in love. I am 34yrs old and this is my 30th car. been turning wrenches for 20 yrs now and look forward to dressing up my Jag.

I'll post pics asap.
