Hello All, 

I've now had a Jag for the last six years, started when I retired with a 03 plate metallic grey X350 v8 sport HE. Always promised myself one after years of trudging back and forth to work in a Rover 75 diesel!

Been a joy to bring the 8 back to its best, always done my own mechanics whenever possible & most jobs on this Jag are relatively easy.

Now also have a 13 plate XJ 3L diesel, so the wife says the 8 has to go as I don't drive it much! Resisted for the last 15 months but she's right (as always) so will be listing it here in the hope that it can go to an enthusiast.

Regards

Dave

Hi Dave, and welcome to the JOC.  My partner and I have enjoyed our membership in the couple of months we've "been in", and found it very friendly and helpful.  

We have the opposite "always right" syndrome......we started with one Jag (a low mileage '07 XK X150) and ended up with two (also a '07 S-type).  My partner thought one would do, but completely agrees with my decision to have two!

That looks a very nice X350......look forward to seeing it on the listings. When are you thinking of putting it on?

As always, happy growling and do enjoy the XJ :yahoo:

Welcome to the Club, David.

I was after an S Type once I saw my pal restoring a Mark1 in 1963.  I got one 50 years later!

I was dring prior to the speed limits coming in and the Preston By Pass [now called the M6] was a great place to have a bit of fast driving.  Most cars would not do over 80 mph, but my Triumph T100 twin and my Honda 250 would get up top that speed very quickly. 

Now I can drive gracefully and enjoy the comfort.

Regards,

Peter.

Thank you Carole & Peter for your welcome messages.

Carole as listing my 8, I've had it on auto trader a few days & have had an enquiry. The guys working out when to come & have a look. I'll hold on the listing at the moment.

regards

Dave
