Smile New to the forum

Howdy and good evening to all,

Not a Jag owner myself, but I regularly work on them for my job and hobby, so i'll sure be making grateful use of your help and expertise in the future.

I'm a 21yo guy from the Netherlands, studying for my bachelors as automotive engineer, and currently driving a '76 Triumph TR7 as my daily driver.
This TR7 has been completely restored in a period of 2.5 years and has been finished about a year ago. I'm currenly restoring an '57 MGA.

For my study, I have to know all the new stuff and future technologies, but my heart and passion will always be with the classics.
Specially with 50s and 60s era cars. You know, the ones drawn with passion and an eye for stylish curves and natural beauty.

Anyway, I had a problem with a '76 XJS that refused to inject fuel, so that's how I came here.
This forum has proved to be extrordinary helpful there by providing the much needed wiring diagram I couldn't find on the web.
(kudos to @Grant Francis!)
I also regularly work on the E-type, so i'll be coming here more often, without doubt.

Cheers

Welcome to the forum tr7,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I can see you've already found your way to the XJS forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top of each model forum is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

You can also visit the Europe Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/europe-42/
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Yes, the era in Automotive History when cars were built for Beauty first.

An era when you could recognize a car from a mile away and didn't have to read the badge to know what it is.

An era when you could easily recognize YOUR car in the lot because they didn't all look the same, have the same roof line, same rear end, virtually the same color and trim package.

An era before cars became appliances like toasters or refrigerators with about as much personality.

Yes, That era......................
(sigh)
