Fair point Bob.

Once the garage has removed the engine/gearbox I think I’ll go over and take whatever bits and bats still left off the car – my wife will be pleased 🙂

Trouble with EBay links are they get archived by eBay and disappear

Here is a couple of photos of the car Robin mentioned

I had these fitted to my grey can (still got a set of spacers somewhere from it)

If you’re able to upload some photos to your photo album Mark, you could either add them to this post or I can for you.

Thanks Mark for that bit of trivia – but…..

Who drive their jaguar most themselves in, say, the first 3 years of ownership.

Just a thought 🙂

That’s great news Trevor, really pleased about that news.

Wish I had time to go on a few day/week tour in one of our XJS, but have to restrict it to annaul holidays or long bank holiday weekends for now.

Decision has been made to break the car for its main parts (thereby keeping other XJS on the road) and weighing in the remained for scrap (which won’t be much these days).

* Interior, targa panels, roof, petrol tank, wheels – donated to my 1985 Cabriolet
* 5 speed Manual Gearbox – Sold

Other parts available include
* Good Front Subframe with all suspension parts
* 3.6 Engine with new clutch – £400
* things like the rear axle, diff, brakes etc
* Bonnet
* Doors
* Boot – little rusty along the bottom (which sits behind the lower boot panel)
* Some exhaust parts

If any of the above are of interest to anyone, or there might be a part or fitting on the car you need, then please get in touch

Hi Alex,

You’ve not missed it – I’ve been away this weekend and not had a chance to sit down in front of the computer, but hopefully in the next couple of days I will have time and write this up as an article. I’ve plenty of photos to include.

Looking at the weather forecast for this Saturday we could be in for a dry day for this meet up.

We’ve space reserved in the Cafe for us all to sit together and have a morning tea/coffee and a cake, or settle down to brunch 🙂

I’ve also reset Simon Ackers membership to Cabriolet Member as his membership profile now has his Cabriolet’s VIN details 🙂

We had a very successful meet up at Hestmonceux Observatory on Sunday (4th June).

We had 4 member’s Cabriolets and 3 XJS Convertibles there – and the weather was lovely and warm (but not too hot that we all burnt).

Thanks to Gary, David, Richard, Richard’s brother in law, Vincent and Steve for turning up, and to David for inviting us to attend the JEC Jaguar day.

Looks like we’ll have a couple of cars joining me at Herstmonceux this coming Sunday, with a possibility of one or two XJS Convertible owners I met at the Wessex JEC show yesterday (Sunday 29th May).

If anyone is thinking of coming but hasn’t let me know yet, please get in touch so that we can be sure to have a suitable area set aside for us.
