Ive waited 50 yrs to finally buy another Jag. My brother & I bought a '58' Mark II in 1966. Unfortunately it was in pretty rough shape. The previous owner had race it & told us when we bought it for $500.00 not to put too much money into it. Well we had a ball with it right till it lost it's rear end at a traffic light. We were trying to race a 1965 Boss Mustang. Yeah I know, but we were young & dumb.
Anyways were both had a date with Uncle Sam so had to sell the Jag for parts. After the service I got married, went to college, had kids; well you get the picture. Finally on Sep 19th my 70th birthday I bought an '07 S Type 3.0 in proper British/Jaguar Racing Green. Tan interior & only 52,535 miles on it. A real cream puff.
Here's a a picture taken in 1966 w/my brothers and another picture 50 yrs later with my son.

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.
A late 'happy birthday' for the 19th.
I know you've already found your way to the S-Type 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.
Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.
You can also visit the US Mid Atlantic Region forum by following this link US Mid Atlantic - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to find other members in your region.
Enjoy the forums.
Graham
