X300 XJR6 - Specialists within 50 mile radius of N London

[psi310398]

I was wondering what recommendations you might have for an independent garage that knows and loves the X300 XJR6 reasonably close to North london. I have used the search function but can't see that this specific question has been asked and answered.

I bought a low mileage 95 car (with a good body - almost completely rust free) with the intention of transplanting its engine and gearbox into another older car. However, I've been driving it and to say become quite fond of it is an understatement. I am now considering keeping it intact as a daily driver. I can get another engine and gearbox for chump change so am not unduly concerned regarding the original project.

The car's mechanicals and body are fine, and it pulls like the proverbial train, but the whole steering/suspension set up feels a bit wooly. Also the radio is kaputt and the electric (memory) seats and offside front window do not work. None of this was a problem when I bought the car but if I am using it daily, I'd like these things put right, plus a general fettling (oil/fluids changes etc). I would clearly like this done by someone who really knows how to get the best out of the car.

Any thoughts please?

Thanks

Peter

Chris Window at Winspeed has/had an X300 XJR himself at one stage. They're near Guildford so within your 50mile limit :-)
They've looked after my X300 for years.

G+D Jags in Welwyn Garden City are well worth a call.

Speak to Derek or Gordon.

Thanks to all - I'll get cracking on considering options...

Good ones of these are few and far between now, so it would be criminal to break a perfectly good one just to rob the engine.
