Hi all my name is Michael and I am from Wagga Wagga NSW Australia. I have owned several older Renault's (mainly r12's) and am now looking to get into something different. Jaguars have always appealed to me so I have decided to "jump across the channel" so to speak and buy a Jag. I have yet to drive one so am hoping I wont be disappointed!!
I joined this forum to get a bit of insight to these great cars and learn what to look for in buying one. I am looking at getting an XJ40. I will post a thread in the appropriate area on this.
So I am looking forward to getting a Jag, learning about it and looking through this great forum.
Thanks in advance.

Michael

No Jag yet

Welcome to the forum Michael. I see that you have asked in the XJ40 section, good on you.

Also check the FAQ for that section and the XJ6 section.

R12s, even I don't see too many of them, had 9s, 11s and a 16. Lost the last 9 at the start of the year when the drivers door fell off with most of the A pillar. Even bailing twine couldn't cure that one.

Best of luck with your search.

Enjoy the search and let us know what you decide on.

No worries Michael

 

Hi all I finally got my Jag but I ended up going with a 1978 S2 XJ 4.2. Wanted somthing with a bit more chrome on it than an XJ40!
Loving it so far!!

All the best
Michael

 

Welcome Michael.

S2, good choice for a first Jag, soooooo classic and reliable, and fixable with relative ease.

 

Congratulations Michael,

It's taken a while but you've got there.

No need for me to give you a link to the XJ6 Series II tech section as you'll certainly already know your way around here.

Let's see some pics.

Here are some pic's. Im yet to see one the same colour...

 

Looks in nice condition.

The only yellow I recall from that period is Cotswold Yellow. It's a while back but I thought it was paler than yours.
