Talking New member

Heya,

I am a new member to this forum and I'd like to say hi to all readers!

My name is Maraud, and I am from the Netherlands and happy to join your forum and talk with other Jaguar owners. Though I am pretty new with Jaguar I am not totally new with having an English car, but I always had a sweet spot for Jaguars.

Now I am owning a 95 x300 Sovereign with 170k KM and (she) is absolutely a class car to drive. Amazing how every bump in the road gets smoothened out. The color of the car is Nautilus Mica blue metallic and has black leather interior. ( At least i think it is Nautilus Mica ) Correct me if I am wrong! The rims are BBS 18" with jaguar caps, fitted with Minerva 245-50-r18 tires. I am not so sure yet what to think of the tires, they seem pretty okay and queit but i already had some problems with traction loss here and there.

I bought this car from a Jeep dealership where I have done some work for, for my job. The owner (1st) had just bought a new Jeep and he let this beauty behind for me

As I wrote above, I am pretty new with Jaguar so I will propably post a question once in a while. And I will make and upload some new pictures soon, the weather is awfull last couple of weeks here.

Thanks for having me here

Maraud

Welcome to the forum Maraud,

Your X300 looks in very good condition. (I've enlarged your pic for a better view)

Follow Norri's link to the X300 section for help, advice and information.

If you're not sure of the exact colour of the paint and trim, the three letter codes for them should be on the manufacturer's label on the LH door pillar. Post the codes here for the answer.

Enjoy the forum.

Graham

Thanks Graham & Norri for the welcome!

I will look up the code and search for the right match. The picture I add is a thumbnail picture, you can click on it and it will enlarge! :-)

The jag is indeed in good body condition, i found only two very tiny pieces of corroding. One on the roof, a little bit near the edge of the sunroof. The other one near the rubber of the back window on the back right.

Your car is beautiful by the way!
