Hi, I'm a retired gunsmith from Colorado originally, now a resident of Washington state. Always been an XJS fan and am now acquiring a rebuild able car so will have lots of questions for you folks. I've had a Ferrari and 16 Datsun Z cars so this is my first experience into the Jag world so please have patience with me, I may have some dumb questions.

Dick C.

Thanks for the nice welcome, I now need to figure out how to get my Jag from Ellensburg to Colville....hard on a guy with a hip implant....and 75 years old! Years ago I coulda carried it on my back, but this is not that year mon ami! LOL

Dick,

About 250 miles?

I'm 12 years younger than you but would still have to put it on a flatbed!

If you haven't done so already you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

 

Yep, would have to be next year or year after, want to get the car fixed up first.
Dick

 

I will as soon as I get it home, won't be pretty like the others on this forum.

Thanks GGG, yes I can handle the job, am picking it up tomorrow the 13th, using a UHaul car carrier, dolly is okay but not sure of the cars rear end so opted for the carrier. Glad to finally get it home, it has a frozen water pump and leaks oil, will pull the belt off as I want to hear it run before I plunk down the money! Guy says it runs good....been awhile since I've heard a V12 run, may bring back tears and memories!

Dick,

Good to hear you've got the transportation arranged. I hope it runs as the vendor describes.

Let us know when you get it safely back home.

Graham

 

Got it home okay, much better condition than was advertised. Drove it on and off the trailer, sounds good. Drove it up the road this morning, a real runner! V12 fuel injection, no smoke, clean as a pin inside, Pirellis look good, glass is good, paint a little faded in places, been sitting a couple years.
Dick C.

 

Great news.

It's not too often we get posts saying 'much better than advertised' about any used Jaguar! Let's see some photos.

Graham

 

Some of the dash info lights are on all the time and the radio doesn't work, but lights do. Will post a pic soon.

DickC.

 

I posted a question on Tech Talk yesterday and got one reply, I looked today for any additional replies and my listing is gone?? What gives??

DickC

 

Was it it this thread:

https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...leased-100731/

If not, let me have the thread title and I'll see if it's been moved.

Graham

 

Yes, that was the thread, don't know why they would move it, seemed like a reasonable question for the Tech forum.
Thanx for your help Graham,
Dick C.
