Default Took me long enough

I finally took some updated pics of my Yellow 82 xjs coupe. The car is all but fully restored (no ac yet) I still need to post some interior shots. Bud

Like Doug, I haven't seen a yellow one before.

Superb - looking forward to seeing the interior pics.

I have to admit, you picked a great color. I love it. It's not the obnoxious Hummer Yellow that you see so often on tons of other cars. It's nicely done.

Looks great. The interior even looks good through the windscreen of pic 4....... will be nice to see the interior pics.

I was back in my homeland Scotland a few weeks ago and took a very nostalgic visit back to the garage where I used to work as a boy.... this was the garage that restored Jaguars and it's where I saw my first Jaguar and from that moment on, owning one was the only thing I cared about.

There was a beautiful, unrestored 1982 XJS coupe in the garage while I was there. I sat inside the car and the smell was just wonderful. It didn't smell of fuel, or damp, as they tend to do by this time...... it just smelled of "class" "old world" "leather" Unforgettable

That's one of the things that always wows people when they get in my XJS: the indescribably wonderful aroma. They know they're sitting in something special. And it's 20+ years old!
