Hello everyone!

I have a 1968 Series 1.5 Roadster that I restored myself. Most of the work was completed in mid 1990's when I was young and energetic. She lives mostly in the garage now. Some time before that I owned a 69 MGB. Those special cars taught me to love working on them and now cars are a big hobby of mine.

My daughter is in college and my son is a senior in HS, and both of them have learned to work on things with me and (for better or worse) they understand that cars are an experience, not just transportation. Also they have learned to love classic(older) cars and that we have a responsibility to keep them going.

I have put a lot of energy into the Landcruisers lately, and I need to spend some time with the jag to get her back on the road, specifically I need some new tires, fix a clunk in the front suspension, and I'm considering a switch from wire wheels to the d-type style alloy wheels. I have some questions for fellow owners and maybe I can help some of you.

I look forward to communication with fellow Jag owners.
