New jag owner
Hey there
I am a new jag owner, just got an 82 vanden plas. I'm pretty intimidated by it and how much money I will blow on it (I am a college grad paying loans back etc), but my love for the ride outweighs that.
First thing I had to do after getting it home was put new tires on, and during the process my e brake got stuck. So the car is currently sitting until I figure out the cheapest way to fix. I'm not very good with cars but I'm learning and hope to find an honest mechanic to help me along. I put regular gas in it for the 2 hr ride home so that was my first big mistake. Any advice/help or if you're close, shoot me a message. I don't know a soul who is into them around here.
I also own a 98 vanden plas but it won't start; I'm looking to sell it.
Cheers

Good to have you here with us at Jaguar forums. I'll take a wild guess that's a typo on the Model Year!
