My first Jag!
Hi everyone, I'm a newbie, I've just bought a '77 series 2, I'm picking her up on Saturday and I feel like a kid before Christmas!
The previous owner has had her for 20 years and I feel luck to be the next owner. She hasn't been started for a couple of years and hasn't been driven for about 7 years. 160km on the clock, a bit of the old rust is starting to show. She's a complete car, tidy interior. Can't wait to get her home and get started!

G'day Calvey. Giving us as much of your location as you feel comfortable with will help people asses your needs & what's available in your area. So I'd recommend it. Sounds like you've got the right attitude for Jag ownership; i.e. one-eyed enthusiasm. Many will tell you'll also that you need deep pockets & a touch of insanity too, but don't listen to them. This place is the key to affordable Jag ownership. The knowledge base here is phenomenal, & the best resource you'll ever have, or need, to finding the right fix, at the best price to keep your baby on the road. Congrats & welcome to the madhouse!

Most people get excited to walk into a dealership and do the kabooki dance that is buying a new car. Not you, not me, not most of us here. You are different and amongst friends.

Hello, Calvey,
Congratulations!
The Series 2 is the Most Beautiful of all the series in my opinion, especially with S3 tail lights, grill and a few other chrome bits.
But,
Welcome to our playpen from ElinorB.
