Dunno, but I think they will make the Series 1 a bit less Grandad.

I must go and see the car at the garage next week and see if they have finished with it.

Then a dilemma, as I have some spare cash but not enough to do all the following:-

(1) Sort rust and paintwork on Daimler.
(2) Re spray XJS.
(3) Get new head gasket into Lotus Excel and prep for sale.

I may also sell my Series Landy.

I would, BV. I think that fitting them would make the car even more desirable.

I think you are right. I have made an offer.

When I wasnt sure if i could get use to the bullet mirrors on mine I looked at these, same seller, and the lowest they would go was £85

Me, advocate, me. Eighty quid.

To me, the Jaguar V12 engine installation always looks like an oil refinery. It's the sort of thing that would get blown up by The Hood in an episode of Thunderbirds.

I love all these dark colours, BTW. I suppose, however, that when I get my Daimler sprayed I should keep it original and white, and if I come to sell it that may give it potential as a wedding car.

Nowadays we have the cult of the cover. Engines are concealed from the user, and to access them requires labour in removing the covers. When did that start? Some time in the mid 1990s, I guess.

Here is the engine of my 1992 half-facelift XJS. For comparison, see what had happened by 1994: still visibly an engine but transitioning to modernity.

Looks like it was designed by an evil genius.
