Hi everyone!

Here's another Portuguese member, who, by the way, decided to join after an invitation by Migueldefender to help him on a Jaguar Webforum, a couple of years old, here in Portugal (jaguar-portugal.com).

I had been here some times, just visiting and taking some advice before purchasing my pride and joy, but never took the decision of joining.

I'm the proud owner of a 1971 Series 1 XJ6 Automatic, in the same colour as Sir William Lyons' Series 1 (Sable) .

My Jag was imported to Geneva, Switzerland, then spent almost all of its life in the South of France (apparently, it was owned by a British couple who had a Summer house at the Côte D'Azur - Três chique... ) and finally it arrived at my door almost four years ago.

By the way, my nickname, "minijag" was chosen because of another passion of mine: diecast models. I collect Jaguars, of course, in every scale, although, recently, I've started buying other brands in 1/87 scale - mainly, lorries and classic cars.

Here are a couple of pictures of my Jaguar. Sorry about the poor quality of the images, as they have been resized with some loss of detail.

The pictures were taken by myself, as photography is also one of my recent hobbies, consuming almost all of my spare time.

(I now realise that I haven't got many pictures of my own car, beeing too busy with other people's cars...)

And finally...

I had the great luck to have my car featured in a Portuguese Classic Car magazine:


If any of you guys decide to visit this part of the world, feel free to get in touch!!
