New XJS V12 Owner
 
Hello all, I am an oldtimer lover and actually an oldtimer myself.
After my beautiful 2000 Vandenplas was rare-ended by an ugly old Ford truck, I got some insurance money and found a 39000 mile XJS V12 year 1988 in what looked like a splended condition as an abandondoned car in a storage for $3000.
Unfortunately, $9000 further, the XJS V12 still is not running and I cant find a garage nearby where I live in the WV panhandle to work on this car with knowledge.
The XJS V12 looks beautiful and in the end I hope to get it going. Any suggestions as to where I can have it serviced?

Hello Steve, you mention a link to a British car owner link in Morgantown. Would you happen to know someone who could work on my XJSV12 in WV, MD or VI?
Thanks,
Daan

You had a PROFILE picture uploaded. I've copied it as your AVATAR so it now appears in your posts next to your forum username.
