White XJS spotted near Eastleigh Hants

Rare to see any XJS these days let alone another white one. The reg number isn't in the register (Begins X...)

If you are the owner and local to Winchester/Southampton it would be interesting to meet up.

A warm welcome to the site Mick. Amazing to see it recoverd after that accident :shock:

It would be interesting to hear more details about the repair work, quite a story there.

the most important moral of this story is to read ALL the small print of your insurance policy 1st offer £1500 and dont be scared to argue second and final offer £2850 and use the financial omburdsman service £5500
new parts full rear taunau /lower 1/4panel / sill / 3 peice front valance / grill
used parts wing / door / front and rear bumpers / washer bottle
2months and 5k later graham at stallion turned a wreck into a beautifull car again
the comments we got from visitors to the NEC last november were amaizing

You have to watch insurance companies. We had a guy with a series 1 XJ that was hit up the rear at a roundabout. The isnurance company wrote it off - and TOLD him a cheque for £800 was in the post!! 'It's just an old Jag' was their justification.
After a lot of arguing, and several letters from us including valuations, they finaly gave in at £4000 + the car. The car is now repaired back on the road :-)

Great work on the rebuild Mick.

We look after a white 1989 V12 XJS with blue interior. It has just had a lot of 'tidying up' work completed.

All the best,
Keith
