I'm new to Jaguars, but not British cars. I've had a couple MGB's and a TR7. I'm a supplier to Moss Motors fro wind blockers to a handful of classic LBCs, and prepare hand-laid fiberglass body parts for the MGB as a hobby in my home workshop.

I'm eyeing up a 95 XJ6 owned by a widow from my church. She's had it in dry storage for 3 years, and asked if I was interested in it.

I came here to start my research. I hope from what I can gather here, I will make an informed decision, rather than just a lustful, knee-jerk reaction to an offer to buy a beautiful car.

Thanks for all the help, in advance, that I'm sure I'll get from these pages.

 

At the top of the "X300" section there's a buyers guide which will provide some basices...it's in one of the sticky threads.

One thing....Jags don't like dead storage any better than other British cars. :-)

Cheers
DD

 

Welcome to the forum Tim,

Good to have you with us.

For now I've deleted your business details from your sig line.
Please contact our admin JimC64 to verify what you may display.

Thanks, Norri

 

I'm looking forward to waking this one up. It's been a few years since I woke a car from storage, and that was a simple car, my TR7.

Thanks Norri. I use the same signature in a few other forums. No worries. I'm lazy, so I copy and pasted it.

Once I get it in the garage, I will.

 

Woo-Hoo. The widow called today, and it's mine whenever I want to come get it. I promised the wife I wouldn't touch the savings, so I need to wait on a vendor to pay me and churn out a few fiberglass orders to scrape up the cash.

It's a 1995 XJ6, green and tan. Needs an inboard headlamp lens, and the headliner needs replaced. It has 102k miles, and the body is beautiful. A couple small dents that a painless dent guy can sort out layer.

I'll replace the big hoses, flush the brake lines, and flush the coolant.

Does the forum recommend a reverse flush of the trans, or a normal "drop the pan and replace the filter" service?

 

Ask the more knowledgable guys in the relevant section as to the flush, although I believe not, but don't take that as read.

As for the headliner? Its been documented many times throughout the forum and there are some good tips....
