Looks in great condition, especially after the polish, but there's just something about the interiors of jags from that era that puts me off.

Insurance certificate arrived in the post today so I now have road tax and all legal. Had to take it out for a drive, managed to use Sport mode and OMG what a difference that makes.

Loving this barging stuff.

Went to a scrap yard today and bought a door seal, full set of genuine Jaguar Rubber mats, rubber seal for under the bonnet, leather service wallet, two brand new Jaguar 12v cigarette lighters and a couple of odds and sods all for a tenner


The driver mat was worn through so I removed the carpet piece and cut a new carpet for it

Some interior pictures. Slight bit of Jaguar bolster wear on the driver's seat but no shine on the leather anywhere.
All I have done is vacuum the interior and give the leather a light wipe with some APC.











The boot is also like new


I have done nothing in here, it also looks like it's had an easy life

Brought the Jaguar out of hibernation yesterday, the last journey it did was last September and its been sitting on top of the ramp since then. Half a turn of the starter motor and it burst into life, so this morning it went for its annual MOT and passed and is now ready to do another 1000 miles this year. Checked the OBC and it tells me its averaging 26mpg so not too bad considering it's a big heavy car. On a run up to my daughter's at Roy Bridge, via Glen Coe I've seen the fuel consumption reach the dizzy heights of 32mpg.

Repairs for the first year of ownership...Nil
