Hi ladies and gents

 

Just joined as I will soon be proud owner of a 1979 jaguar xj 5.3 v12 old t reg brown colour

I work for jaguar building the xf and xe but went for the classic

I have done a deal on this car which has been off road since 1993 been in a garage. 

Sadly the elderly owner my neighbour who had it since 80s passed away two years ago and the kids decided to sell it. I bought it on a hunch without starting it so took a gamble

All I know is that the outer body seems rust free. Not sure whats been done to it or even if it runs or on unleaded

So any pointers appreciated I am starting from scratch here .I will have the car the keys and v5

Looking to get it running tidy up Mot tax it . Hopefully it should be rust free as it's been garaged most of the time . I've known the car 30 years or so
