Auntie


Here is my old faithful Jag, used as daily transport. I had an S type before reverting to the XJ. I quite like the shape of the S type but was dissapointed by the cramped cabin and the fact that the pram would not fit in the boot so I chopped it for an Alfa 156 (2.5 litre v6 variant) which means that I have passed the Clarkson test!!

New workshop




Having got fed up trying to squeeze down the side of the GT6 in the garage I have bitten the bullet and erected a new 20 by12 workshop, I have now got the Vit chassis under cover and work is progressing.

The bulldog spirit

Here is the GT6, she is nearly finished but has been put on the 'backburner' as I am putting my efforts into the Vit project.














Now, where did I leave those spanners?

The blue lady


Here are some pictures of my Herald, and of my helpful assistant mechanic Henry (aged 2 and a half).






Just as soon as I can reach those pedals!!
