Hi all, Graeme from Auckland, New Zealand. I have a 1970 XJ6 Manual w. overdrive which I 'accidentally' acquired last year. Bought on a local auction website while pushing up an auto-bid (they really annoy me on car auctions). Anyway, misjudged it slightly and ended up with the Jag. Took 3 days to pluck up the courage to admit to the wife another car was turning up

It took all of 2 seconds to win me over though once it arrived, even though it has been off the road for 15 years. Was going to get it roadworthy and sell it on, as my Jag dream had always been the usual E-Type, but now I'm in love with Agatha and she's going nowhere.

However I now start what I feel will be a reasonably expensive restoration, so will be grateful for any help as I go along. My aim is to have her back on the road this year.

Will post pics as I go, but first priority is any wheel & tyre of the right size. Doesn't have to be WoF standard, I just need an old one as both the left front and spare are total write-offs and I'm keen to have her sitting level and not straining axles, bearings etc. Current ones are all old Dunlop Aquajets ER 70 15's

Cheers
Graeme
