Default Hello from Australia

Hello everybody.

I am Mark and have just aquired Lady Mable, my first ever Jaguar.
Lady Mable is a Sable Daimler XJ6 and she is a glamourous 50yo dame.



Lady Mable

She didn't like to stand out too much, so at some stage took off some of her jewelry.
I honestly prefer the Jaguar grill to the Daimler fluted grill, but am a little puzzled as to why Sir William thought that black vinyl was more classy than lovely wood on the door trims.
I am slowly learning the differences between Daimler and Jaguar, as we enjoy our honeymoon period.

I have discovered this forum whilst searching for a solution to Lady Mable's sunroof issue.
I am sure that I will find a solution and will keep you posted.

Thank you for accepting us into the fold.

Cheers.

Thank you, Elinor. It is a pleasure to be a part of the forum.

I see that you have a modern ScoobyDo ute (pick up).
I have just done some work on a 1988 Brumby or BRAT, as you guy know them, to get her back on the road after a ten year spell as a farm vehicle.
Rats nest in plenum chamber has left a bit of a pong. lol

Welcome to the forums Mark,

Good to have you with us.

I can see you've already found your way to the XJ6 & XJ12 Series I, II & III forum 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. You can also use the Australia - New South Wales / ACT Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/a...-wales-act-93/ to find other members in your region.

Please read the guidance for new members ( https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...ned-up-241802/ ) which answers many of the most frequent questions about getting started.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Welcome to the forums Mark.
Good luck with the sunroof, I ended up sealing mine closed.

I spent an evening on the lounge reading your thread, in the hope of learning the secrets of the unobtanium sunroof.
Such a shame that you put in so much effort only to be thwarted by lack of parts.

Thanks for the welcome and I will be sure to keep everyone updated

That would be superb. I look forward to meeting everyone and dribbling about cars.
I'm unsure how long it will take me to get Lady Mable registered, as she has a little work to be done, but as soon as possible we will be cruising. 8-)

If you haven't done so already you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.
