Hi everyone, just bought my first Jaguar a 1966 3.8S with 4-speed and overdrive! In the process of taking her out of hibernation and every little bit of advice helps, Thanks!

Welcome to the forum 66s-type,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I can see you've already found your way to the
MKI / MKII S type 240 340 & Daimlerforum so there's no need for a link to it from me. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the Canada Region forum by following this link Canada - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Hi Elinor, thanks! Yes luckily the car is complete with a trunk full of extra cosmetic parts and replacement gaskets. All the mechanical bits are there and in need of all of my free time for the next few years!
