Its not known to me exactly what is required to reach trust level 1
a cursory look in the “how to” section found this
HOWTO: How can I find out what Trust Level I’m in? - User Guides and How-Tos - Jag-lovers Forums
It seems you need to either like, answer or create a minimal number of posts
Its a slight conundrum I guess, as I can totally see why the site owners have done it that way to discourage shysters, shills and blow ins, but I can see how it an issue for genuine sellers that are brand new to this site, many are like you, who have inherited a vehicle
If I was you I would start a thread with some good pictures of your vehicle, not a for sale thread, just in the XK forum,
This will attract expert comments on various aspects that may well be important for you to know in the event of a sale, “like” the answers, and reply to them
This should qualify you
I dont think this breaches the spirit of the forum, if it does, moderator please notify me and I will delete or modify post
In my opinion, the trouble is well worth it, so I guess in that respect, if one does not wish to do that, then one does not qualify under the forum regulation, which exist for good reason
