Afternoon all.

I joined the club a while back as my pride and joy is a series 3 Daimler Sovereign. I've always been an admirer of big Jaguars and thinking life's too short etc etc I thought i'd sell my boring (but hugely dependable) Audi in favour of something all together more interesting.

I managed to find this 2007 2.7 Sovereign. A couple of owners, a faultless MOT history, Full service history and clear evidence that this has always been a cherished car. I picked up two weeks ago when it had just clicked over 61.000 miles. 600 miles in and I must say I'm hugely impressed with it.
Just thought i'd introduce myself!

Cheers,

Dave.

Welcome Dave. They are indeed a fantastic car.

Tony

Simply stunning! What a beauty.

Well done Dave. The right choice and way more attractive than an Audi. You - or your vehicle - will attract many admiring glances! Enjoy!

David

Hi Dave, very nice looking machine and glad to hear that you are enjoying it so far. You don't say where you are based but hope you have found your local Region and are getting welcomed.
Jim

Dave,

Nice-looking car! And a really good MoT history! I've very rarely seen one better!

X350 / 358s are great cars! I still miss my 4.2

Cheers

Hi Jim.
I'm based in Liverpool but as I'm new to the club I'm not sure how the region thing works. I'm close to Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. Do I just contact one of those regions to 'join' as I'm already part of the main club?
Sorry for my ignorance!
Dave.

Hi Paul.
I've done A LOT of searching for the right car but this one has one of the cleanest MOT histories of any car I've ever owned..and there has certainly been a few of them!

Dave

Hi Dave, Liverpool is a great place to be, spent a lot of time there in the 1970's (showing my age now), but thoroughly enjoyed my time in that great city.
To find a range of Regions close to you, and remember you can belong to or "follow" more than a single Region, click on the "REGIONS" tab at the top of these website pages and you will find a box into which you enter your postcode and it should automatically give you the options for Regions that are nearby. You can go along and determine if they are offering what you want / need, or you can make contact with the applicable Regions to obtain a copy of their 2024 calendar.
Alternatively, if you want to PM (Private Message) me your email contact I can put you in touch with the Regional Ambassador for the area - I look after Scotland as their Regional Ambassador. Alternatively, you will find my contact details in the JEC Magazine and you can send me an email.
Good luck

Also in Liverpool so there’s at least 2 of us, we could make our own very exclusive club

Congratulations on finding a great car.
Looks smashing and a lovley colour.
Hope it brings you much joy.
Take care.
Andy

I am a member of the Cheshire group, and I know that we have several members in the Merseyside / North Wales borders area.
We are a very friendly group.
If you contact David Limb by email: david.limb1@btinternet.com he will no doubt tell you about our group.
Unfortunately you just missed our latest monthly meeting which is held on the 1st Thursday of every month at The Blue Cap Sandiway (near Oulton Park).
Hope that helps!
And your car looks amazing. If I had room to add another I would be looking for something like that. They look stunning!
All the best and happy motoring!
Andrew

Welcome Dave. I have a similar vehicle (2.7, 2008). Generally excellent reliability, and hard to tell it's 15 years old - at least when I've cleaned it properly....

One point of note is that the diesel engine isn't happy if you only ever do short runs around town; it needs a decent spin (20 mins) at at least 50 mph every so often to regenerate the particulate filter (DPF) - in my case I regularly do 100 miles on the motorways, so it's no problem. Also, a lack of oomph at full throttle can come from a split in the port deactivation valve diaphragm. I had to repair mine (an easy kit and fairly cheap kit containing a new one) soon after I bought the car a bit over 10 years ago - been fine ever since.
