Default New Member Old Jaguar Owner

I bought an old use British sports car in December 1969 in Boston, MA for $650. It was an XK120 OTS which I still have. The very first car I ever owned. I had it restored in 2012 and drive it about 4500 miles a year. I have developed a front end shake about three years ago which my mechanic can not fix. I hope to gain some insight as to how to diagnose the problem. Looking forward to swapping stories. Owned a few sedans over the years. Looking for a 2106 XJL now.

Welcome to the forums Rick,

Extremely rare to keep a car for over fifty years.

Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...k140-xk150-60/ to the X120 / X140 / X150 forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues. You can also use the US Mid Atlantic Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/us-mid-atlantic-65/ to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Hello, Rick,
I think you got your money's worth out of that car! Certainly whatever you put into it now is well spent.
