I have just bought a 1972 Series One Jaguar XJ6 which has had a one year ground up restoration. And I am loving it. For the price of a decent truck it is alot of car.

Does anyone else here run a classic? And do you get involved in clubs etc? It would be nice to go to a rally or something but I have no idea of what is around.

I owned that car back in California...it was my favorite. Series I are a shorter wheelbase, and in my opinion the best looking XJ6's. I love the front grill. Mine was primrose yellow. Didn't like the Borg-Warner trans though...

Lets' see some pic's of yours...!

I think most of us serious car collectors have opened this thread and said "why didn't you do a search and see all the other threads on this, and add to those threads?"

Yeah, there are lots of us here in Thailand.

nice car. I have always wanted an E-Type. One day maybe.

Love the daimler double six, had one in my homecountry. But overhere if you buy a jag, you are married with it. Here in Pattaya I saw a couple Jags for sale, for years already, about the 300 and something k range, but none ever bought them. This is the sad thing that almost noone like and understand classic cars overhere. I my self love it, specially US Cars, Jags and Classic Range Rovers. Lot of headache, but a ot of fun too.

Nice car Sgunn65; oodles of character.

Enjoy.

The one that got away, in 1961: 100M Healey, year 1955.

fantastic car. My uncle used to have a 1972, 4,0 sixpot, and I was alowed to drive it after waxing it. Did you keep the original straight six?

Yes it is all original. the engine has been re-built and the interior totally redone. the only non original thing is the cd player!

I beg to differ, if he lives in Thailand than he has a classic car. He is one definition of a classic car

Classic car is a term used to describe an older car, but the exact meaning is subject to differences in opinion. Some are very inclusive, considering any older car to be a classic. Others, including the Classic Car Club of America, maintain that 1959 is the last year for a car to be a classic

I think this is an example of cross cultural differences. In the Uk there are vintage cars and classic cars. My 72 Jag is certainly considered a classic car by the UK definition.

BTW I was asking about classic cars in thailand.

3 of my beasts...

Here's a pic of my current classic. 1965 Oldsmobile Cutlass.

Ahh the Ford Escort MK 1 with the split bumpers.

I owned one in 1971, it was my second car after I upgraded from a Vauvhall Viva

Happy days
