Hello All,
Bought my first Jaguar XJS about 2 years ago. I am tall (6'7") and was surprised that I could fit in the car.
Getting in and out of the car is a bit of a problem as am getting older and not as flexible as I used to be.
I used to race an Alfa Romeo and the comment was ALFA stands for "Always Looking For Another".
This transfers apparently also to Jaguars! Last fall I bought a 1993 XJS this one a 6 cylinder. .
And again last weekend I went to look at a XJS with a TWR kit. The car had considerable rust so I passed on
the purchase but fell in love with the TWR look.
So now I am looking buy a TWR kit to add to my 1989 XJS that needs some bodywork anyway.
WTB: TWR kit soon to be an add on Marketplace!
I live in Prescott, ON, Canada.
