New Members
I am a new member to the club and this is my first Jaguar. The car is a 1969 Mk 2 Daimler 250 that is being brought across from Victoria from a car restoration shop in Ballarat. I will not have the car for another 5 weeks before it is delivered. It is a “Barn Find” from a deceased estate. The car is running and it has just been re-painted over rust removal spots that were repaired 20 years ago. I have owned other older cars in the past including a 1965 XP Falcon, a 60’s VW Type 3 and a 70’s Holden VB. I sold the last one about 17 year ago. I was looking for a Porsche 911 because my 6-year son wanted me to go in the “Bay to Birdwood” with him, but I could not find one in my price bracket. I was looking at a Mark 2 Jaguar but this V8 Daimler came up for sale, and I went with that instead. I have made contact with Dave Burton and he is kindly helping me organise my SA Club Registration.
Regards Chris Jobson
Editor- Welcome to the club Chris. “Barn Finds” are becoming a rarer event these days. Well done. It will be nice to catch up and see the finished car.
