Daim, Are you doing the headliner? or will you farm it out? My baby's XJS needs one and I've been thinking since I can't get one for a 1985 new I'll just do the work.

Well, you can see how the car looks here:

Regarding what happened... Well, I intended on using the car for winter too... So I bought some good recommended winter tyres. They were on the car in the moment the car decided to let it's rear overtake the front. I steered against that to straighten up again, just resulting in the rear overtaking finally. I slid sideways into the curb, jumped into a sign, landed on some concrete slabes, slid along them into a chainlink fence and slammed into a small tree.
The car is written off, as it would cost a lot more to rebuild than it is worth. So it is a write off. My brother is trying to convince me to rebuild, but I can't, as it doesn't make any sense and I am sure that the car was cursed.
So I'll be parting it out (or selling as a whole). The interior is really top notch. The engine and tranny are totally healthy and run well. The exhaust was sheared off from the downpipe back and wrapped around/before the rear axle. Both front doors are shoved back (hinges buckled). The wings torn open. The sill on the drivers side is eavily damaged.
I am fairly well. I got no fractures but LOADS of pulled muscles and whiplash syndrome... My knee (left side) whacked into the door card (luckily they are well padded). My hips hurt.

I am very glad you are basically OK. However, a word of caution. The XJS is a jealous Goddess, she has sent you an amber warning. For a second Jaguar, maybe safer to buy a 6 cylinder XJS, or a drophead model, that way your current XJS can have no envy or enmity... Sisters rather than rivals...
