Default Down Under Shaguar R x308

So finally came across this beauty at the right price.

I've had her off for a polish and will get the bumpers re painted the towbar removed and the small dents pulled. It's faily high km's but is a country car. Being an Australian delivered vehicle rust is not an issue.

The tensioners have been done (it's a 98).

I have a few plans but mostly in this order

Cat back
Wheels
Brakes
Intake
Bigger charge cooler capacity
Upper and lower pulleys
and save up for an avos inspired thinga me jig

Very nice! I think those wheels are as fitted to the XJR 100s, and are BBS Montreals (19" I think).

Looks like someone has fitted HID lights fitted to yours at some point - what are they like? I also haven't seen those headlight protectors before, but I assume they are a Jaguar part.

Enjoy the drive, and as you'll no doubt discover, this place is a wealth of information on the X308.

After picking my jaw up from the floor, and wiping the drool from my chin, I must say that you have one beautiful Jag!

Default She's a beauty, BUT...

...I was expecting a Union Jack paint job with that title.

Very nice!
