Hi all,

Finally joined up with the JEC after years of not getting around to it! So here I am, some of you will know me from other forums or our R-S facebook page, and others may have seen my car around at places like Stoneleigh. Purchased my 92 XJR-S in November 2015 at auction with around 52k on the clock, since which she's been converted to manual, had the rear and front suspensions overhauled along with a host of other small upgrades. Here's a few pics of the old girl from a few months back..

Hi Beavis.

Welcome to the JEC! Even I think that those wheels look ok on the XJR-S!

Nice car!

Hello Beavis and welcome - nice looking car and it sounds like you've done some interesting work on it.
It would be good to hear more about the modifications you've made.
