Thank you very much indeed Peter, I would be grateful if you can send me details of your mechanic, it always helps to have someone who is recommended and who knows the particular car. You car looks lovely, which engine is it? I did want a darker colour myself with a beige or tan interior but i ended up with a grey car with black interior but it has full jaguar service history and is like new inside.
I used to have a XJ40 briefly in my younger days but the fuel consumption was too much going from a fully paid company to buying fuel for my own jaguar.
