I don't have a British car, but I have my eye on (2) TR7's. One has been in a shed for about 20 years, but is surrounded with stuff and the other is sitting outdoors and locked up, but the owner can't find the keys. I'm keeping an open mind until I can give them a good look. Happy to be aboard.

Hello Basil, I apologize for not posting. The TR7 opportunity has fallen through, but something better just came up a couple of weeks ago. I am now the proud owner of a 1985 XJ6 LH S3 Jaguar complete, as well as a fuel injected Chevy V8 and transmission and some conversion hardware. I think it's going to be a better fit for me and the price couldn't be passed up. The car is in very good condition and was last licensed in 2004. I wanted an unusual car that I could build and pass on to one of my kids as I think this will be my last car project.
Currently I am rebuilding the engine and transmission; 1995 LT1 with 4L60e automatic from a wrecked police car. This will probably take most of the winter because of my budget. When that is done I can roll them off to the side of the shop and bring the car in and begin the task of assessing what needs to be fixed and figuring how to put Jaguar and Chevy parts together. I think the project will take about a year to finish.
I will post here as things progress and let you know how fun I might be having.

I used to own an XJ6 (mine was a bit earlier - 1976) and it was a great road car!

It was probably one of the smoothest driving cars we've ever owned. Have always thought I'd like to get another someday.
I haven't brought the car into the shop yet so I don't have an opinion on British cars. I think I will be happy though.
