Newbie...Introduction
Greetings,
I am new here and I'm suppose to introduce myself. i do not own a Jaguar...yet. I registered here to get educated. I am a British motorcycle guy. I do own a 76 MGB. I recently retired and have alway thought the E Type Jaguar is finest looking car ever built. I am also fond of the XK8. I will probably be looking for a project car so I need to know what to look for & what to look out for. I do not have the space or tools to do body work but I am fairly well equipped to do everything else. I've been riding, building, & restoring Triumphs for awhile now and have recently purchased and enjoy working on the MGB, perhaps it's time to try my hand on a Jaguar.
I live in Illinois near St Louis....go Cards!!!
I do appreciate all replies.
Thanks for having me.
Phil
