XJR for the ring
Hi,
So after a couple of weeks of umming and arring which car to take to the Nurburgring later in the year, and finally coming to the conclusion I can't afford to smash up the wife's daily Nissan 350z.. we set to looking for a car to take over with some power, style and comfort.
Well today, we headed down to Leicester and picked up this bad boy:
4 litres, an Eaton 'charger wailing away and absolute luxury, electric everything...
Chuffed :-)

Also as you plan on taking it on a long trip with some high speed driving/cornering, it might be prudent to double check the condition of the many rubber bushings/mounts that are used throughout the car's suspension. The rubber in these will deteriorate over time causing a number of maladies. You wouldn't want any nasty surprises bombing around the 'ring

Oh don't get me wrong, it looks in great nick but as with buying any car that is almost 20 years old, it often pays to do some basic maintenance such as changing the fluids, filters, plugs etc to give yourself a baseline.

Having a 95 XJ6, which turns 20 next month, I'll agree. Since you are planning a major road trip think about it. Would you rather do it at home if something goes wrong, or try to find someone or a place to fix something far, far away?
My rubber parts were "okay" until I had to do something. Now that it's in the shop for more than an oil change I'm having it all changed. I developed some oil leaks so I'm also changing all the gaskets, water pump, wheel bearings, motor and transmission mounts etc.
I feel a road trip coming!
