New 1973 Jag XKE V12 Roadster Owner/Member
Hello Gentlemen! Just wanted to introduce myself here is a new member and a new proud owner of a 1973 Jaguar XKE V12 E Series III Roadster.
I'm from Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. I came across this car after it was offered to me as part of a trade package with cash for my newly listed 2001 Ferrari 360 Spider. When he first offered me the deal i had never seen this car before but after seeing her (red with black leather interior, new motor, new tires, new clutch, new flywheel, new belts and hoses, and runs like a top) and doing all the research on this car i have fallen in love with it!
I can't wait to get back home from work, so i can spend some real quality time with her and get some more pics posted up....but here's a few to start
I apologize for the bluriness in the pics, i will post better ones when i get home.
In the meantime, if anyone knows of any good guys who can work on these cars in southern Alberta, that would be great, plus any tips are also appreciated

Welcome to Jaguar Forums
Welcome timduro ... and greetings from a fellow enthusiast in Australia.
The E-Type is a grand piece of sportscar motoring ... my own love affair of some 35+ years with our Series1 4.2L has just come to a close. I encourage you to jump over to the E-Type model specific section where there is plenty to read and absorb ... also, to visit the regional section shared by other members in your area ... and finally, to add your car details to your signature as a permanent flag to enable other members to offer accurate advice ... from Main Menu, click <User CP> then <Edit Signature>.
All that remains is to dive into the forum ... and enjoy!
Best wishes,
Ken
