Good Afternoon everyone,
I'm Jase and am new to this forum, and the Jaguar although I've always wanted one.
I live in Adelaide, South Australia. I have recently bought a project Jaguar with my Father-In-Law, intent was a fix-er-upper though this car is in better condition than first thought. (Despite an engine start issue addressed on this site).
It is a 1976 5.3 V12 XJ. Original 106,000km - (have the old MPH original gauge and documents to verify). No rust and always garaged. Has been reprayed once in its life, doesn't look too bad I think. One original owner since new, so it wasn't a bad buy.

Welcome from me,good to see another Aussie here.
Must be good for a change to find a car is actually better than first thought,usually the opposite. Certainly looks the goods. And an XJ12. Hope you get on well with the father in law..
Look forward to the post when you get it finished. Plenty of help on here no matter what Jag you have.
Best of luck,Neil

Hello, Jase,
I have a particular soft spot for the Xj6 series II. I'll look for you over in the Xj8 section.
