Wish me luck - just bought an XJR...

[chris.mapey]

Go and view / collect it on Friday - flying to Inverness, then epic road trip back to Suffolk

1999 V reg, 84k miles, Sapphire Blue with Oatmeal interior - I'm like a kid before Christmas... Can't wait.




Cue my posting over the next few weeks either in tears that I've been bankrupted by a car, or I'm loving it!

Please could I ask for a collective finger crossing for late Friday morning

Also, anyone know a Jag specialist in Suffolk?

looks great - I had a red one a few years back and it was great
enjoy!

Well done Chris, glad to see you've got a nice toy at last

ETA: The Jaguar indy I normally use was booked solid last time so I took the car to Scole Engineering who look after my Griff. Excellent job as usual.

Well done. You will not regret it. Looks just like mine . Had it around seven years or so and I really cannot think what I would replace it with

Very nice, same colour as my old one.

Good luck, and be carefull in the wet!

wishing you the very best of luck, I will keep everything crossed for you, check out Paul Roach http://www.paulroachjaguar.co.uk/ he is in your area, and while I have not used him yet, he is very well recommended.

Watch your speed on the A9, and make sure you have a good bit of fuel.

I agree on all counts

[Simpo Two]

And don't forget to update your profile picture

Had one too in 1998. Stunning car but check the camber on front wheels. Mine went through a new set in 10000 miles.

[Markymark69]

Excellent, good luck.

[SimonV8ster]

Yep, good luck with this. Might be following in your footsteps as I'm off to see one tomorrow

[Duke Thrust]

Excellent! I love mine and I'm sure you're going to love yours too!

[chris.mapey]

It's collection day...

Up early to catch the 9.15 flight to Inverness - updates to follow later this morning.

Excited? There are dogs with two whatsits that are calmer than me

[MDT]

Good luck and enjoy the A9 going South, if ever there was a bit of road to take a big Jag on this is it. just watch out for the BIB in un-marked cars.

Fingers are crossed.

[chris.mapey]

Loving it.

Currently having a bite to eat south of Stirling - car has behaved impeccably so far & I'm definately in love

Updates to follow...

[Simpo Two]

You won't want to get out. Wife will be bringing you breakfast tomorrow!

[chris.mapey]

Got back home at about 10.20 tonight.

Car is everything I hoped for - pics tomorrow

[Stedman]

So jealous of you right now, maybe not in 3 months time, but right now I am alot

[Cecil]

Did you enjoy the A9 ?

[varsas]

Glad to here it's going well! Awesome cars, very underrated and undervalued, but shhhh...lets keep it to ourselves for now, shall we (at least until I've decided weather I'm going to get another one or not).

Odd question...

Which stereo does your's have? Harmon/Kardon, Alpine or the standard; earlier jaguar one? If it's the Alpine or Harmon Kardon what's it like?
