Happy I stumbled upon your forum, it's already been a huge help! I'm Tom, and I'm the proud new owner of a (relatively) solid XJ6 from 1989! A two-owner vehicle in the same family since 1993, I was surprised to find this relic in such awesome shape considering it was an elderly man's daily driver till he passed away a few months back. Dark green with a cream leather interior in near-mint condition - still needs some love and TLC, but it's not bad for a start! Currently working on getting the vehicle to pass inspection (parking brake, power steering line, subframe mounts, etc etc) and after that I'll be converting the suspension from self-levelling hydraulic to conventional gas strut & spring. Watch out for threads from me in the coming days as I blunder through this - I'll like as not have a ton of questions for the mechanical experts among you.
Let me know your thoughts on the colour combination, and general condition of this old-timer - I'm looking forward to getting her properly fixed up and on the road in time for summer!
The seats are in remarkable condition - possibly been recovered? I had a Series One XJ12 in that body colour in the 70's and it had green leather seats which was the usual pairing.
I can see you've already found your way to the XJ40 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.
