Hi Guys,
I just thought it would be polite to introduce myself.
I'm not really called 5tevie but if you can't figure out my real name, what can I say?
I have wanted a Jaguar for years but something else has always eaten up any spare cash.
But yesterday, I took ownership of my own Jaguar XJ6 3.2.
I bought it via a classified ad on eBay after going to see it and taking a test drive.
Here is the URL to the advert ....
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&am...
Even though I am bound to be biased, the car is even better than it looks in the pictures. There is no rust or even bubbles anywhere on the bodywork that I can see and the wheel arches and underside are very clean.
I guess I'll be asking lots of questions as time goes by but for the time being, I shall be wafting round Blackburn and the North West of England with a big smile on my face.
Cheers,
Steve

And very nice it is too!

Rust is the only real problem with the X300; if there is no rust on it then you'll get years of pleasure from of the old beast. The X300 is a very strong, excellent car.

Very nice. I have an XJ8 but recently had an XJ6 as a courtsey car and was amazed how well it drove for a 15 year old 150k+ Jag. Actually thought the meatier steering was rather nicer than on the XJ8.

Enjoy it!
