It's impossible to upload multiple attachments to one post here with iOS.

 

Each photo has to have a unique name, with iPad and iPhone the photo names can't be changed. That's why multiple photo's cannot be attached, the system thinks you are uploading the same photo.

Nice pic of your car!

 

My first Jag and it was free ! Neighbor had it in one of his detached garages for several years under a cover and rather than hassling with getting it running/smogged/registered he gave it to me.

Spent today cleaning it up and clay "barred". I am astounded that there is
not a single door ding, scratch or rock chip. Only cosmetic flaws are a slightly worn driver's bolster, and two small curb rashes on a wheel. Sad that the tires are aged out (and front sidewalls cracked) as they are brand new tread. Drained the fuel and running a compression check next. If it compression looks reasonable I'll proceed with new cam chain tensioners and of course all new fluids and filters. Then cross my fingers.

 

Congrats and crossing fingers for you!
As for your seat, here's what I've used on several of my Jaguars. It's the best product I've ever found and one of the easiest to use. Mostly about the prep and they send all you need. I'd suggest you get a can per seat even though it will do two, but I prepped twice, sanding out all the creases in the leather and really gave several finish coats. I found on older cars, the factory color has changed over the years so I did both seats and center console lid. My latest car I did was my 09 XF about 9 months ago and even then dealer commented on my seats looking brand new!
Oh, on any deep creases or even light cuts, you can fill with gel super glue and sand smooth after completly dry. Sounds odd but it really works.
I've also cleaned with leather soap several times (dirty dog paws!) and looks amazing!

 

Wow, nice score.

Take a look at the rubber under the hood as well. 15 year old hoses that have been sitting for several years have to be suspect. They are not that expensive and the big issue ones are easy to get to. You'll likely be flushing the radiator anyway.

I'm guessing there's a battery in your future as well. If you start it up on a weak battery you will think the entire car has issues based on the christmas three of lights and codes you will see.

Good luck and keep us updated.

love red with black top. Usually see tan.

 

A 2000 mi road trip from St Pete Fl along the Blue Ridge at the height of the colors. Great trip, wonderful ride.

 

Lovely.

I really need to get that number plate on straight!!

 

I'm just back after 18 months away in the US and I have just had the most wonderful day.
The car has been packed away in a villa garage in the South of France and this is what made it sooooo special.







Just thought I would share this.
Cheers,
Colin.

 

Looks like a very tricky road to drive!



That's better - I thought you'd disappeared into a ravine when the photo was upside down.

2003 XKR Quartz/ Dove

 

Did you modify your tonneau cover? If so, how?

 

Just bought the same car. Only 42k miles. Elegant ride, very smooth, nice power!

 

Hello Cruisin01, love the color of yours and great find. The XKR is the supercharged version of yours.

 

My baby is just a wee bit different. Hope you like her........Mike

 

might as well join in although mine is very much a work in progress
