Default New Member - Brit/Canadian in Vancouver

Hello All,

I finally bought a Jag and am looking forward to using and working on my 1987 XJS-C V12. A neighbour had this car for decades and wanted me to buy it as they are maturing in years now, well I bit the bullet and although it drives well and has very good bodywork it does need some tlc to bring it pristine.

I've read many of the posts on this site and found them really helpful and informative - so thank you for those posters.

The first 50 years of my life I lived in Britain, when I passed my driving test a friend let me drive his 2 year old Jag straight onto the Motorway (highway/freeway) and the love of Jags started there. Now as a Canadian (my father was Canadian) living in Vancouver what better place to drive a Cabriolet? Can't wait to take the scenic drives to Whistler, SF and LA...

Regards,

Ken

Welcome to the forum Ken,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I can see you've already found your way to the XJS forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the Canada Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/canada-73/
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
