I agree. Is the color called Seafoam?

 

I believe that color to be Sea Frost. Sea Foam green Jaguars are few and far between.
I always thought the Sea Foam was very attractive, even from childhood.

 

Going through it for the yearly MOT inspection, changing out the old bolts for new plated/ stainless, now I’ve a source of flanged nuts!

O2 fault code I expect with old fuel so I’ll run it and see.

Came back online without a hitch after sitting since Covid kicked off.

Good to see you Sean, she's looking good.

 

You too old bean, you too!

 

Hmmmm. How old is that bean?

 

lol! its an old school british term I'm afraid!

me old mate google says this about it, which gave me a smile

Why do British people say old bean?
“Old bean” is a classic British familiar form of address, roughly equivalent to an American's greeting of “buddy,” “pal” “friend,” or, at least lately, “dude.” It doesn't actually mean anything, although to American ears it certainly sounds slightly odd.

...nothing derogatory Randy old bean ; )

 

@Sean B where can we get those stainless bolts from? I've been wanting to do that for a while.

 

Well, Sean, that is good to know....similar to the word "mate" down under or
"podnuh" in Texas. I remember the term from London excursions, but never
quite made the connection between "bean" and "friend".

 

I strongly everyone reads a bit of P G Wodehouse. Bertie Wooster frequently refers to his brain or head as his “old bean”. A lovely term - a bit old fashioned but we all like being referred to as Old Bean.

 

Amazon have A2 stainless flanged nuts for M5,6 & 8 for pretty much everything under the hood! Saves me from the slightly depressing rusty nuts every few years, hopefully fit and forget - don't forget the washers.

 

 

Red brick with a carnival red Jag, ....nice.

 

Pretty cool...I can just barely make out the photographer in the reflections.

 

Finally got a chance to give my Jag a proper cleaning. The Anthracite really comes out in the sun.

 

I really like the metal flake glint. Very sophisticated.

 

Thank you Randy! It's funny, in the ad the car looked black and it wasn't until I showed up to buy it I noticed it was not solid black. Even sitting in the garage it looks black, only when the sun hits the paint do you see the metallic. At first I didn't like it since I wanted another black x308, but its growing on me.

 

There is so much sunshine, my camera kind of fails to work properly .... nevertheless, still not tired of seeing this one ....
