As I've mentioned previously, I've owned my little red MG for just over four and a half years, after being gifted it by a member of my family to complete a banger rally with friends. As it turned out, I ended up being the only person who wanted to complete said rally, so in the …
https://www.youtube.com/embed/iicRoqfv5Ek It took slightly longer than I expected for something to go (reasonably) seriously wrong with the Curfew Jag, although to be fair, it was brought on by my mildly excessive use of the throttle off road. Having access to a field always made it inevitable that I was going to end up driving one …
Well, this one is a bit different. Although, aren't they all? I'm a bit fan of Jaguar's XJ in its earlier iterations, and though I've owned series 2 and 3 cars (and their Daimler variants), I hadn't yet manage to purchase my favourite of all, the series 1. The car I've bought hasn't seen a …
If you'd like to read the rest of the Curfew XJ-S updates, you can do so HERE After a little bit of a wait earlier in the week, yesterday became a chance to get Curfew up on a ramp for its service and a general inspection, as I was hoping to take it to Tamp …

I bought this on a bit of a whim on eBay in August 2017, and its in the list of cars to be saved. I’ve always got time to appreciate an interesting Alfa, and this one is certainly something a little bit different, as it’s a mid engine Busso V6 conversion 'designed' to emulate the …
The journey to get the Curfew Jag roadworthy and MOT'd took a bit longer than I expected. I knew it would have a few mechanical jobs considering that it was built for the tv series where the aesthetics come first, but in reality the state the car was in was unsafe, and I was slightly …
It has been a long time since I've posted an update for this particular car, and even if you follow my social media channels you may not be familiar with it, as it has been in storage. At the time that this little MG arrived in my car time my intention was to modify it …
So I've bought another XJ-S, but this time its the XJ-S that featured in the recent Sky series 'Curfew', which stars Sean Bean (who drives this car). It got delivered last night after I purchased it at the H&H auction in Buxton on Wednesday - and its already taken a bit of a battering on …
