Hello everyone. I have been very lucky enough to buy a 2002 XJ8 in British Racing Green, which is one of the bomb proof cars used by the Tony Blair government as one of the official ministerial cars. The reg is FB 02 LCX. The chassis number is SAJAC22M02LF44026. It is one of only 7 XJ8's that were converted by Jankel under contract number LV/MIL/53, dated 16/02/2001. It is item number 1 of 7. Asset code NB1126-4104. NSN 2310-99-908-6103. I have no idea what asset code or NSN mean. These are the numbers from the Jankel chassis plate. It is a truly wonderful piece of brilliant British engineering and is full of amazing stuff !!! I would love to find out some more of the history of this car. If anyone has any information on this car, or has an idea of where I can find information, I would be very grateful for any help. Yours sincerely Peter

Hello! I have 9 x London - Brighton Jaguar Run Grille Plates that I am hoping to sell but was hoping someone would be kind enough to shine some light on the best place to sell and worth (if any). I have grille plates for the below years: 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 Any advise would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

on another note, I managed to restore the central locking using the SDD setup 🥂

Hi all. After searching for a while I’ve finally purchased my first Jaguar and loving every minute! First question from me. Why so few posts from fellow F Type members?

Welcome to the the club, Andy. I am also a little surprised at the absence in the of quite a few Jaguar owners, and that includes the F type which is a very good successor to the E Type. I have only been in one F Type and guess that there are not many around. Carry on enjoying your Jaguar -- you will have quite a few envying you. Regards, Peter.

Hi Mark, Seems strange to say engine starts but then cuts out. Not sure if it could do this if the timing chain has snapped, I would seek a second opinion. Someone with more knowlege than me should be able to make sense of this. Good luck. Cheers Rod
