New here and just bought a MK VII m

Hello ladies and gentlemen,
my name is Wolfgang and I am new here to the Jag-lovers.
I am driving a XJ8 (308) as my all-time car during the year.
I love old cars and I own a Fiat Dino and Lotus esprit S3 too.

Now I just bought a MK7m from 1955. The car was located during the whole time in Canada and now it was offered by a dealer in the Netherlands. There is a video from silver-arrow-cars on YouTube, maybe the film is 5 years old but the car is still in this condition.
Actually the car is still at the dealer and he will make the car ready to run (new Avon-tires, brakes, electric, lights and so on).

I will get the car in about 4 weeks and hope to stay happy with it.

Yes, I made everything wrong, but not at the first time :slight_smile:
I made a ride with the car and it was fantastic.
There will be some surprises coming to me, I know that, but I love the feeling to see and drive it.

I hope to get in contact to some owners who can give me some help to the first problems.

Best regards

Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,

We had an XJ8 as our winter car for 11+ years, you will notice they are relatives.

The MKVII-MKIX are the grandfathers of the X308. :slight_smile:

We have a MKV which is more like a great-grandfather. :smiley:

Enjoy!

Tschüss!

Yes, the 308 is a very good and timeless all-time-driver.
… and after 20 years it is still running and looking good.
