Default New Member Intro

Hi all,
I am Mr. Vijay S. Shah from India and live in Ahmedabad in the state of Gujarat. My late father had imported in 1949 and Jaguar Mark V, Right hand drive, 4 door saloon. The Chassis No. is 620494.The car has been in the family ever since. For quite some time the car was not looked after and it went into ruins. We have restored (partly) the car so that it is on road once again and will continue to refine the same.
I look forward to making new friends and getting assistance from many members of this forum in restoring my Mark V.

Welcome to the forum Vijay,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

Follow Norri's link in post #4 to the Mark V - Mark X forum for help, advice and information.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info 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.

Enjoy the forums.

Thank you all who have sent and very warm welcome messages. It is a pleasure to see the enthusiasm from all over the planet. I an still learning how to reduce the size of the photos and the post from Jim tells me how to do so. In Feb. 2016 we had an occasion to speed test MK V at Budha International Formula ! race tract at Nodia, India and the old lady did a speed of 70 MPH.
