I too bought a parts car about 3 years ago.
The parts car is now fully restored (1989 XJRS) while the original project is still waiting it's turn.

Who is Pat? Apologies for the awful joke.


Wise move, I think.


None at present, but in the past, yup!!
Not Jaguars, but similar logic.

I would probably buy one (or more) if I had the storage space and found a decent deal.

Pat's counterparts in a local town are in "dutch". Failing to deliver some routes for days. Failing to answer the telephone.


Erratic parcel tracking....


The private sector competition is 'eating" the USPS alive.


Some advice and help from Pat???

I think that it is an early prototype before they booked wind tunnel time.

I'm on my second one and it's outside right now... 89 xjs coupe... If nothing else, there are some great parts on this one that I do not need and can sell..... The trick is finding a good one !!
