Hello,

I finally got the Series III Jaguar I've intended to buy for about 30 years. It's a long story... obviously.

Anyway, it is still at my mechanic, and he'll do some minor suspension work before I can get the safety paperwork, and get on with the registration, plates etc. I barely drove it at all.

The body is the color I wanted (blue), correct trim level (VDP), 12 cylinders, and it is not rusted. I did a couple of long drives only to find rust (easy to happen here in Canada), one of which was dangerously rusted and selling for $15,000!

I hope driving it during the summer will make me confirm the decision was good. If so, then I start pumping some more money into it, and posting questions. Thanks in advance.

Hey Rod, congratulations on a fine choice in cars! 12 cylinders...how much is that going to cost to fill up a week? lol Dive right in, talk about the series III, learn as much as you can to make the time pass quicker, and most of all, enjoy yourself!
