Make sure you stop by to say hello. I'll be there with my Mk1 Cortina GT with a much needed paint job, but as long as I bring it there which is much more important.

David,

It sounds like your Grandfather has his hands full with two Jaguars to feed.

BTW, the Fords are usually in the back of the show at the top of the hill.

I'm hoping after some set backs this year and until I get a better footing to paint it it's original color Dragoon Red next year. The interior was done awhile back but also I've acquired most rubber bits and maybe my trip to the UK this summer I'll pick up some front quarter bumpers and irons to complete it before painting.
Well that's the plan anyway.

Michael, between him and my dad, theres 7 Jaguars. A 62 Mk2, a 67 Mk2, a 65 S-Type, the 05 S-Type, the 95 XJ6 VP, an 81 XJ6(original Cali car, no rust), and a newly acquired 72 E-Type. We used to also have a 57 Mk7 and a 59 Mk1 but we got rid of those. Was a shame, I quite liked the Mk7.

Weve got a fleet of old Cats on our hands, how many teenage mechanics do you know who take on the Jag rear end with the dreaded inboard brakes?
