Howdy gang!

It's been quite a while. I hope everyone is well.

Just thought I'd write to introduce our new toy:

Our first Jag. Quite a machine!

Fantastic! May it give you many good miles.

Spoke too soon, there it is gorgeous!!!
 
Thanks guys! I appreciate it. She's a 1965. The reference materials I've read suggest that she was one of the first 300 or so 4.2 coupes. We brought her home last night. Man is she fast!
 
Absolutely the most gorgeous car ever built. A true 150 mph car. I am jealous. The only improvement would be if it were a roadster. This comment is in no way meant to detract from your beauty....

Have to say that I prefer the coupe to the roadster by a quite a bit. Proportions just seem nicer.
 
Ohhhh, Bill!!! You did good, bubba!!!! That is stunning!

You've got the best of the best there. Beauty, torque and comfort.

Did I mention STUNNING!?!?

:thumbsup:

One of the most beautiful car ever built
Did you reduce your fleet to get it

The TR-6 is my wife's car, so you'd have to talk to her about that, and she's a formidable opponent!

We're in the process of selling our MGC to my father-in-law. He's wanted one for about twenty years, and made us an offer we couldn't refuse. She has a blown head gasket, and he's and the verge of retiring and looking for a project to keep in busy. So, at least it will still be in the family!

Thanks for all the kind words! As we're getting used to the car, we're fining that she's a tad more complex than we're used to. For example, all four brakes locked up yesterday due to a little plastic device on the servo known as an air reaction valve. Should be, er, exciting. :crazy:
