Hello All
As a lurker for a while I have now decided that I need to join as I have now entered the classic ownership brigade.
Just purchased a V8 250 which is languishing in the garage awaiting me swallowing the brave pill and getting started.
I assume you all like to see a photograph or 2 so here goes
Looks pretty OK in this photo, but the term lightly dismantled was used before I bought
Should be interesting !!!!
I shall naturally be asking heaps of silly questions so apologies in advance.
Rob
Hello,
Congratulations on your new Classic Jaguar!
Doncha just Love how some people bandy around diminutives when talking about degrees of disassembly or damage?
You are gonna have SO much fun with this project.
The best part will be NO COMPUTERS! I wish you success.
Many thanks for the warm welcome.
I think I will have my hands full for some while, still only living 35 minutes away from Coventry (where they were built) means
with any luck I can access the specialists I need to do some of the work that is beyond my "pay grade"
A quick inspection reveals yet more interesting news as it seems that I have in the boxes 2 sets of the top end of the engine !!
I am sure whilst researching I never came across a quad carburettor 4 head V8
I sense a few idiotic questions may be on the way !!!....more digging is needed...................
The scarcer they become, the better the idea to grasp the opportunity.
It sounds like you've already found your way to the MKI / MKII S type 240 340 & Daimler forum so there's no need for a link to it from me. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

Thanks for that.............I love your understatement !! It was that kind of thinking that got me in to this project in the first place.
I am still rummaging about and just staring to formulate a plan.
Will keep you all posted.
Rob
It seemed like a good idea at the time
