So not new to cars (53M, 160+ cars since 1987), but this is the first Jaguar I've owned. My folks had a 3.2 Sport in the same color when they lived in the UK, and I always enjoyed driving it. When this popped-up with the Getrag 290 5-speed manual I figured "why not" and jumped-in. So far I've gotten my hands a little dirty with a trans fluid change and some general cleaning, and found that the car is in many ways a pleasure to wrench on - at least to my limited abilities. Have a few projects on the list - radio replacement and some paint cleanup to start.

Love the way the car drives with the stick - reminds me of old BMWs like E3s and E23s with sticks - a little tubby but fun to play on the back roads. Already appreciate the great content on this site!

Hello, Reed,

Welcome aboard. Cool Jag. Very odd to see that build configuration in the USA. I assume it was imported from Europe?

Cheers

Yep - Spanish market car that lived in Madrid until last year.

Thanks for the welcomes!
