Hi forum members,.
A new UK member here, I recently found the forum and thought I'd better join it. I have two Jaguars, a 1964 3.8 S Type that I've owned for fourty three years and a 1972 4.2 XJ6 owned for the last thirty three years so no stranger to the marque.I've rebuilt both of them form near basket cases - it was all I could afford when I was a lot younger. Since then both cars have extensively toured Europe and North America with the CAAR GB classic car club.

I do all my own work on them except auto gearbox's which I consider a black art after two unsuccessful attempts to rebuild them. At the moment the XJ engine is sitting in my garage after a full strip down and the autobox is at the local transmission specialist, the S Type cylinder head is on the bench waiting to be fitted back after a head gasket leak last week on a trip to the Jaguar Ryton event, hopefully both will be back on the road soon.

Welcome to the Forums.

The oldies are the goodies, for sure.

Well done on the restorations, and the maintaining.
