New Members
I purchased the 1973 XJ6 which had been sitting under a gum tree for a couple of years. It was destined for the metal recyclers if I didn’t go back within the next hour or so. I made it there. The engine was stuck. It took 4 days and a load of transmission oil down the pots and 3 broken spark plugs at the threads but we finally moved it with a 3-foot jemmy bar. It ran amazingly. Then came the stripping of the carbs and going through the whole car. It came with all nolathane new bushes which I was happy about. Also, as an added bonus it came with electric windows which I understand is quite rare on the Series 1. A few hundred hours of TLC and we drive her daily and continue to learn how to repair and treat the ageing lounge chair on wheels. I fell into owning the car by having a XJS speedway V12. If you would like more info on the V12, I can supply you with that as well. Thank you
