As some of you know from my earlier/intro post, I was able to acquire my Grandfather's Jaguar. I fly out this Thursday morning to TX to pick it up and make the long drive back to WI.

The current owner is having an oil/oil filter change done prior to me coming to get it.

Couple questions:
1. Anything to keep an eye on?
- I am fairly confident that I won't have anything to worry about with this car.
2. For the radio, are there any AUX cord/USB plug ins for music/phone while driving?
- Bluetooth?
3. Open to other information

The list below or items he has replaced within the past year. As I asked what he has all put into the car. He told me he takes the Jag to car shows and has actually won a number of trophies.
-Brake work($452.47)
-Pin stripes $139.37
-Repair front bumper $1040.87(someone hit my Grandma couple years ago/small fender bender, scratched the paint.
-Touch up paints $67.30
-Wool floor mats $376.61
-Wiper blades
-Restraint caps
-Plastic grill part $342.01
-New tires $809.28
-Two new height sensors $750.77
-New gas cap$42.21
-2 oil changes.

Sorry for the dumb question, it's been a number of years since I have been in the car and don't remember.

 

Should be one nice ride home, enjoy it.
Coolant seems to be often ignored, unlike oil & filters.
Coolant, brake fluid, trans fluid & others, are seldom changed.
Due diligence falls onto your shoulders now.
Don't disappoint your grandfather.
As mentioned, plastic thermostat housings are a weak point.
I sniff the air when walking around the front of car for any coolant smell.
Stuff's smell is present, with ALMOST, any leakage at all.
