Heading to the JCNA concours event today in North Carolina (90% rain ) so I'll post a few pics of my engine and car since it looks like I won't be opening the bonnet or top!

And the car! I'll say, if you ever want to get your Jaguar in immaculate condition, enter a concours. I never knew how many little bits were missing or damaged. I must have replaced 30 little bits over the whole car. Plastic tabs, screws, cracked caps, but it was worth it!! Like driving a new car!!

Trophy or not, with the amount of time and work you have put into your car and the amazing results you are a winner. Your car is a beauty Philef

A trophy - I'm delighted they gave you something to polish because the car certainly doesn't need it.

Congratulations, Phil. A huge amount of preparation work and a worthy result.
