Some amazing cars on here.

I have owned 3 XJs.

Here is my current 1997 X300 4.0 Sovereign LWB, which I acquired this year and which I have (mildly) restored.



After picking it up from getting the paint done and the wheels refurbished.



In the Cairngorms.


Interior - complete with original Jag phone.



XJ Sport 3.2 manual with stainless sports exhaust. She was in a poor way when I got her, but has returned to rude health (slight dent in the rear has been removed). Sold last week to member MDT frown

Hiya

Going on your "tag" xjr500, is it really running 500hp ? if so what have you done mods wise ?

Ok so perhaps I rounded it up. It's actually 486 bhp, has the full Paramount set up which was dyno'd when fitted. Supposed to be the 450 conversion but only saw 414. However a trip to Technik developments near me and a custom MAP saw the power hike. I believe the next step is methanol but then I am asking for the engine lie to diminish. Only on 30000 miles so not even run in. Has all suporting mods, adjustable steering, lowered. Currently having new bumpers made up which include blending/hiding the side indicators and smoking all that is yellow. Pictures soon. (Old pics below)









Cheers

Its nice to see a Jag in good hands. I do like black Jags they look the business.

My name is Dave and I am a Jagaholic.



Oh Sh*t



Oh more Sh*t



Oh Rats!



Daylight at last!



I must stop doing this!



And I'd forgotten all about you!




I promise to downsize, one Jag at a time.

Looks like a simple case of NAJS (Need Another Jaguar Syndrome)
