Default Hello there

Hello all,

New guy here. 22 years old, from NE Ohio. Not my first Jag, and not my last ; )

I collect vintage/older foreign sports/luxury cars and last summer I purchased a 1 owner 1991 XJ40 Soverign from original owner who'd husband purchased it over-seas and had it brought back home. It is a gorgeous champaign/silver color, with chrome factory optioned wire spoke Jaguar wheels.

I brought it home and stuffed it in a garage and forgot about it until about a week ago when I was looking at it and decided I will drive it a little this coming summer.

Wonderful site you have here, and I look forward to being an active member.

Thanks
