I wanted to say hello to everyone here. I do not own a Jaguar yet but I am looking. I have wanted one from a small child when my uncle had one he used to restore them. I own or should I say they own me BMW e36 coupe and a 79 F250. I am out looking for a Jaguar to rebuild. If any one could point me in the right direction. I am looking for a 4 door. If there are better models of the XJ series to buy. I have seen some here any where from 500 to 6000 dollars. I believe I have rambled to long.

 

HI welcome to the forum...
I don't know much about restoring cars.... but i m sure people here can point out which is the better car to restore.

good luck...
ps: love to see the car before and after restore if you decide.

take care

 

Thanks I am looking for a decent one not to bad but I will take a load of pictures.

 

Welcome from another Jag forum newb, you live in a good area for car deals, check Craiglist and the search forums in my sig.

 

Welcome to the forum and good luck in your search for the right car.

 

Welcome, restoration is not an easy job , my recommendation is to buy X300 1995-97 XJ6 , Sovereign
Scour other forums and search threads that will make up your decision

 

I should have posted this search site, can narrow down to car and location, other choices. http://www.jaxed.com/cgi-bin/mash.cgi

 

Here's a S-Type 4.0 in Atlanta, needs a motor for only $2,200. Suppose it's a starter motor? Find a 4.0 from a Ford and swap engines, have a cheap ride, it's pretty tempting actually.
