Default New Jaguar owner

Hello everyone, I purchased a red 1986 XJS last month. I'm kind of glad that the weather has been crappy as I have a few things to work on. It has 66,000 miles on it and I've known the original owner for about 4 years. I am looking forward to learning about this amazing feat of engineering from those more knowledgeable than myself. I have been an aircraft mechanic for 25 years and I love fixing, modifying and just plain tinkering around with all things mechanical.
