Hello PTR200 Jag,

I can recommend Horner & Hudson in Macclesfield.
They are very helpful and knowledgeable.

Speak to Mike Hudson on 0774 002 8396.

Hope it is not too far for you from Preston.

Sorry for the delay in replying. We arrived home from Italy mid June after a very enjoyable tour of Tuscany and the Amalfi coast, but our overnight cartrain with Autoslaap Train organised by Railsavers (their British agent), was cancelled 3 weeks before we left due to Autoslaap ceasing trading. We a...

Damn, I've missed another SS100 :cry: Good luck with your new toy, sounds very nice. If no one else will talk with you, you can always tell me stories about your SS100. Some people have all the luck. Another on my wish list is an XK120 DHC or an OTS. As they say "life is a bitch, and then you die" :...

Morning David, It might be worth thinking of driving to Italy through Germany and returning on the train as the return journey for some reason is considerably cheaper. :roll: There was a deal whereby on the return journey the car went free but probably not if just travelling one way. We booked throu...

Hello JagSS100, I organised an XK8/R trip for 13 cars from the XKCC :shock: last year but used Santander as our port (although they are very close) and concentrated on the Picos region (Asturia and Cantabria). I had been across the Pyrennes on a motorbike a few years earlier and can thoroughly recom...

This is just what I need to get the courage to start my own project. :oops: Please keep the information flowing. I have been looking for XJ6 donors, but pre 1985 "good" ones seem to be getting harder to find so I was also thinking about an XJS. Are there many problems using the XJS and is the more s...

Might be too far, but Horner & Hudson Ltd in Macclesfield are good.

Heard mixed reports about Elite in Heaton Chapel, Stockport (but only second hand information).

Good Luck

Sorry to butt into your conversations but I am a long admirer of the Suffolk Jaguar SS100 and drool over them whenever I see one. :oops: One day I will find the one with my name on it. :D Anyway, I organised an XK8/R tour to NW Spain this year for the XKEC (sorry to swear) with 13 cars and I can tho...

Hello PPV,

If they will have me, yes. I live near Knutsford. Probably the one nearest me is at Antrobus, is that correct ?

Andrew

Hello, I have owned an XK8 2003 convertible 4.2 L for just a year :D but only joined the JEC at the Classic Car Show this year (£10 discount--no I'm not from Yorkshire but I do have Scottish blood), and live in Cheshire. Thoroughly enjoying the experrience (even with the constant noise from the pass...
