Hi Everybody!!

Just dropping a wee message to say Hi to all on here. I have recently bought a 2001 Jaguar S-Type. It is the base model V6 3.0 but I prefered the manual gearbox rather than the autobox so that did restrict my options as did finding one that was actually in good mecahnical condition with decent bodywork.

I live in Northern Ireland, East of Belfast on the Peninsula.

Typically I like all things four wheeled and older. The S-type is the newest car I have owned. I have a:
1969 Series 2a Land Rover Airportable.
1969 Reliant Scimitar SE5a GTE
1978 Reliant Scimitar SE6a GTE

Looking forward to doing some light tinkering + fettling to make her handle, stop and go well so will be on here quite often researching I have no doubt.

 

Welcome to JaguarForums!

It's good to have you with us. Some prefer an autobox, but personally I think you have made a good choice in getting a manual box - so much more you can do :-)

I have a basic model X-Type, much as you have a basic S-Type but it is still completely Jaguar - congratulations on your purchase.

Cheers for the Info. updated my Signature to show the model details. Forgot to say i'm no stranger to Jaguar ownership, one of my earliest cars I had was a Black 1982 XJS, so called V12 H.E.

She had to go eventually though, ended up breaking her up and selling on as much as I could. Was sad but had to be done. Too much tin worm.

I always had a notion for a Scimitar but it never happened.
Enjoy the forum.
