sgunn65 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thai thai Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 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...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keemapoot Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onnut Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 nice car. I have always wanted an E-Type. One day maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingray Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 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 but the OP was asking about classics here in Thailand 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgunn65 Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
