how do i put this ,

it took me eight years of blood sweat and tears ( lots of tears , lol or was that lots of beer ? )

working in a domestic garage, nose up against the underside of the car for any works required , rebuild front and rear suspension , a multitude of new and reworked panels ,
rebuilt brakes , etc etc from a person with no formal mechanical training..........................


and they only go and give it a clean bill of health with no advisories at all ,

emissions were really low , brakes nearly ripped the tyres from the wheels , and all the lights work ( well , it is a Jag )

best £27.53 i ever spent , lol

BB

Well done, Vince.

A long hard slog for you and a great result.

Now you can go and use it. Welcome to the world of XJS driving....lol!

Mike

The Grand Finale at last; well done. What are you going to do with your 'spare time' now?

Hooray!

Congrats!

Rich.

Excellent, well done.

That was quite cheap for an MOT, I am sure I paid more for mine last year.

thanks ladz

Halfords auto centres , half price

Used Halfords three times now myself. Very good too. Recommended.

One has to book online to get the half price deal. £27.42p. A "book a slot" facility is available when you fill in the online form and pay in advance with a card.

where abouts are you , your welcome to come and have a look

BB

Thanks for the tip. I might give Halfords a go later in the year, we have one in Shrewsbury.

congrats BB, drive it and enjoy it now

Vince,

Great news! Makes the restoration now "finished"!

Really interested as to how you'll now feel about driving the car. Will be it only on warm dry days , avoiding dirty roads and any traffic, keeping below 50mph and then, once home, cleaned within an inch of its life and carefully pushed into the garage? Or will it be driven as Jaguar intended?

Interested as one day (after over 24 years!) my TR6 will eventually get finished and I hate the idea that I might end up being too worried about getting a stone chip to actually drive it and bring back the grin it gave me in my 20s!
