Hello,
I joined a short while ago and have been enjoying the forum. Probably fairly typically of the E type owner, I am in my fifties and, largely relieved of pressures such as children and mortgage, I am now embarked on other ways of staying insolvent.
I had a Jaguar XJS in my twenties which was fun but reliably unreliable. Learning my lesson, I chopped it in for an Alfa... After thirty-odd years of sensible and not so sensible Swedish and German motors, I have come back to both marques, first by buying and refurbishing an S4 Spider, and then, evidencing an addiction to rust and dodgy electrics, not to mention financial ruin, I bought a couple of Jaguars.
I have a 1967 Series 1 2+2 (LHD) which I have just begun to restore. It appears to be in reasonably good condition but the imminent soda blast will tell.
I also run a 1995 XJR, largely on motorways.
I look forward to participating in this forum, continuing to learn from you all and meeting you at events.
