New Jag owner and forum member
Hi, Just bought my first Jag.
It's an X-Type 3.0 V6 SE AWD. 53 Plate but only cost 3 grand. Has the full Sat Nav stuff in it. Everything works fine and it's lovely to drive. I think i'm hooked
I come from Basildon, Essex, UK. Didnt really plan on using it for work as i do 70 miles a day and i have an oil burning Focus for that but driving the Jag is like sitting in an armchair and getting to work. It's doing 27.6 MPG and that's pretty good i think for a 3.0.
I'll put some pics up when my new wheels come through. Just put a lip spoiler on the back i got from Adamesh. Thinking about lowering then some new backboxes from the previolusly mentioned shop.

I've just joined yesterday and already found a virtual friend with Graham
. Thanks Graham.
Have a look for 420G Restoration for mine.( Graham helped me with the postings) A little more £ than yours, but I inherited the car, but then had a target to restore it for my daughter's weddings and also make it a Classic family Aireloom.
