The 7 looks none too shabby fella. 'twas a 1990 735i that first kindled my passion for big engined barges - same colour as that one, too.


Thanks buddy

They're a cracking car the old E32, the 3 liter engine is a little bit weak in comparison to a 3.5, but the 6 cylinder and 8 cylinder engined 7's can be chucked into corners with enough confidence that you will come through the other side ok!

Calypso Red Mettalic is the best colour for a 7 series without a doubt

Never had the pleasure of driving a Jag yet, although I would love a blat in an XJR/XK8 yes

That looks like a lovely example of the XJS Convertible, great pics!


Thanks Kieran, Just a few more little bits to sort out and hopefully it will be ready for a few Classic Shows this Summer, first off is Tatton Park if I get back from France in time.

I've been toying with the idea of a wheel change, and would appreciate any other views for and against.




What do you recon then?

Hi, anyone ever come across MJD, or Missing Jaguar Dissorder?


I'm glad I've found someone with the same recurring illness as my Dad. He seems to buy a Jag, then a practical Jap motor then goes back again. Over the past few years ...

Subaru Estate
4.0 XJ40
Toyota Estima
3.2 XJ40 Facelift
Toyota Land Cruiser

He's now thinking of an XK8 lick

Presumably meaning the '93 onwards XJ40 models with the updated interior, electricals, etc.

I like your current set of rimz Cooky, look suitably period, not sure I'd wanna change them for wires.
