I have always been into GT cars from a simpler time but I have never started a readers cars thread before. However this new car is a bit different and I think it deserves a thread of its own to keep track of events as they unfold.My dad bought his first xjs back in the mid 90 s, it was a manual 3.6 in dark green.

As you say it seems to be improving as I put miles on it now. I actually have the original radio and alpine cd multi changer ready to re install. I’ve got the original 15” lattice wheels too that will be refurbed and returned to the car in time.The air con has been tasted and there is a leak in one of the pipes. Not the end of the world, but maybe in time I will do the upgrade of all air con pipes and compressor to the modern ones that are designed for the new gas. The kit is approx £800
