Hi all on Jag forums, I live in Papua New Guinea, Port Moresby.

I am married to a Thai so have a 1996 X300 Jaguar Sovereign in Bangkok a pearler of a find. Had been in storage for 13 years, is in mint condition and only 33K on the clock, color Teal Blue.

I imported to PNG from Japan with the plan of sending to Thailand a XKR Silverstone, once the headlining was replaced a sensational car and also XJR in Carnival Red, both have around 100k on the clocks.

Thai govt changed regulations which prevent me sending the cars there so I am stuck with two gems in PNG.

Still a little anxious with reliability problems as I did own a XJS that was a disaster from the day I got it.

What a vibrant forum, thanks the welcome messages.

Taking the XKR and XJR to Thailand is difficult as duty is calculated on "Customs valuation" which would mean paying 3 times what the vehicles owe me. Seems a scam as the vehicles are confiscated it not paid, too much risk.
