Smile New member with a MkII 3.8l manual LHD

Hi,

When my Jaguar enthusiast father passed away in Norway in 2023, I decided to keep one of his old Jags and bring it over to the UK near Watford where I'm based. It's is in a pretty good condition, but it has barely been driven in the last 5-7 years so will need to take it to a specialist garage for a proper recommission and service. Over time, I look forward to learning some of the basic maintenance myself and use it frequently. It's a MkII 3.8 liter where the gearbox was changed and power steering installed about 15 years ago.

Karl Olsen

Hello, Karl,
Congratulations on your "new" Jaguar, although I'm sorry for how you got it.

Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.

Karl,

Welcome to the Jaguar Forums! It's great to have you with us.

I see that you've already found the Mk 1 / Mk 2 forum and that Peter has already responded to your request for garage recommendations. We look forward to hearing updates and would love to see some photos of the car if you find the time!

Cheers,

Don
