Having access to a field always made it inevitable that I was going to end up driving one …
I just thought I'd share an update on all the work the Jag has had in recent months. I'd booked for it to come off the road at the start of April to have all of its bushes replaced as there was some creaking and groaning over bumps and the car wasn't driving quite as …

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95G5AmAWMks Although I wanted to have a look at all of the cars at the conjoined CCA/Silverstone Auctions sales, the Warwickshire Collection pt. 3 contained most of the cars that I really wanted to see. This is the largest selection of Jaguar XJ/Daimler Sovereigns that I can remember seeing. All of the cars that have …

https://youtu.be/UM0liwyiQP4 A walk around of the XJR-S after collecting it from the body shop. As you can see it still needs final polishing, but that will happen when the bumpers and skirts are refitted. On 23rd December 2020, after no less than 956 days since this XJR-S was delivered to the bodyshop, I was finally …
