I am thinking of have my Series 2 Engine rejuvented by VSE in Wales. Do any members have any comments about the above company.

I had what sounds the same sort of experiance on a run up to the Silverstone Classic in June. Traffic was very heavy with a lot of stopping and starting. As a result the engine got very hot (but the fans were working) but on slowing or stopping (for say petrol) the engine either died and or would no...

Well I am a member of both the JEC & the XK8/XKR Clubs but by the worst club I ever joined was the JDC. A director of that Club completed some very expensive but poor work on my E-Type & when I complained I was threatened with a libel suit by another JDC Board Director. This was some years ago but I...

AS a follow up to my comments about Frank & his Cool Cat Corporation I have now purchased two electric fans & an alloy shroud from V12´s which is a company based in New Hampshire in the US.

It was ...

Firstly his on-line ordering system would not accept international orders, secondly nobody ever answere...

Have just acquired (from the US) a 2001 XK8 Convertible. Everything works (touch wood) but on the bonnet & rear (particularly under a certain light) the bodywork (which is navy blue) appears to have what looks like some sort of stain. Its as if it has rained & the rain has left marks. I have used ca...

Saw a brilliant 1996 XK8 Convertible with 55k miles for sale for 8750 pounds at a Hampshire Classic Car meeting in August. It was part of the JEC Hampshire (or possibly Dorset?) contingent (there were two regions exhibiting). It was a lovely car at an absurd price. I would have bought it (subject to...
