R.I.P. DL03 HBH - Written off in accident on 1st June 2013!

:cry: :cry: :cry:

Unfortunately, our beloved 3L V6 S-Type was involved in an accident on the M5 last month and 2 days after, we were given the sad news that it was uneconomical to repair. Had her for 14 mths and she served us well with 14,000 miles including our annual tour in France.

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :D :D However....all is well in our little corner of Gloucestershire once more, as we now have a replacement Jaguar!

I went shopping immediately after eSure paid out all but £200 of the original price we paid and adding a bit more (quite a bit actually!) we are now the proud owners of SK56 JHU, a superb 2006 4.2L V8 SE, in Jaguar Racing green!! Woohoo!

We now have touch screen SatNav (need to update the disc!) parking sensors front & rear, 6 Stack CD changer and rain sensor wipers...oh and no water jets on the bonnet...took me a couple of mins to realise they are on the wiper arms!! D'oh.

Well chuffed and we are off to France again on 20th July for our annual tour! (Or as the girlfriend calls it...European Kitty Spotting Tour!!!)

Will update the register and add a couple of photos later.

Alls well that ends well then, Alan.

Sounds like a nice car. Look forward to seeing pictures in due course.
