Deek,

When you say "standard" tyres, which ones do you mean? When Sports Suspension was fitted, cars were equipped with 225/55 ZR16. When Touring Suspension was fitted, 225/60 ZR16s were fitted.

been on ebay since 97...........

and i havnt got over 1650 feedback for nothing u know , lol

i think this gearbox is probably one of a kind in this condition , and will only increase in value as desirability and scarceness increases


BB 8)

not interested in a set of 4 18" Flute alloys with new Vredestein Giugiaro Ultrac tyres on are you ?

deek

then I have your car, you have a pm

I suggest you contact Jaguar Heritage and get a production trace, it will give you all the "birth" details of the car

Hi Rob,I had tried to get a heritage cert. before, but my previous computer, or me, managed to screw that up. I knew that there was a relocation issue with the Trust and I was going to re apply for the certificate. I will do that promptly.Many thanks again. You've won yourself a few beers, on me, when the Glasgow region is at the next gathering.

JH are fully relocated now, traces will come from Gaydon though, and the best news is that Anders is still there part time, give them a call with your c/card number and your trace will be done

as for the beers, look forward to that, are you coming through to Edinburgh with Glasgow region for the John Cleland evening??, should be a good night
