Default New 2000 XJR owner in Cheshire, UK

Subject line says it all really - I bought my first Jag this week after spending many hours not telling the wife what I was browsing Autotrader for.

It has a bunch of issues, but I bought it as a project and that's the fun of it.

Hi Tom,
Welcome to the forum! My story is similar to yours - my first Jaguar was an XJ8 - brought from a dealer as a part exchange car they needed to shift from the forecourt just as we needed a new car. we had always thought Jaguars were out of our reach.. but as soon as we had it I fell for it :-) No other manufacturer of car makes me as happy as Jaguar :-) I hope you enjoy your time on here - nowhere else will you find a friendlier bunch of Jaguar fans and with such a wealth of info to get you started on your new project.. you are very welcome :-)
If you have a good look in the UK section you will see a range of events go on through the year - and they are a great excuse for cleaning, polishing and showing off your new car *plus* you get to put names to cars and faces.. some of the events are quite family orientated as well if that helps.
Enjoy your time with us and if you have any queries you are very welcome to pop a post up or pm any of the team here.

Hello, Tom,
A 14 year old car is bound to need attention somewhere. You should have your project.
Welcome from ElinorB.
