Hi all,

I'm Kamil, I'm 12. In October 2008 I bought a 1988 Jaguar XJ40 Sovereign 3.6 for a bargain price of £170 and named it Oliver. Oliver is also in June 2010 issue of Practical Classics.
I'm a regular poster on practicalclassics.co.uk and xj40.com. I have started my own website about my Jag and a longer story about it can be read on projectxj40.weebly.com

Heres some pics:-



What do you lot think?

I've been fixing some rust and changed the plugs last week. I have got a blog on my website. It is getting a full resto next summer.

Utterly brilliant, well done, both on the car & the website clap

I've a son who's ten: I'd be dead proud if he said he'd like to get a car & do it up.

excellent excuse to search the small ads and get a car "for your son" wink to then "help him" wink rebuild for track use. As he wont be old enough to drive it on public roads...
