THE INTERNATIONAL JAGUAR 'S'-TYPE REGISTER FORUM

Big Blue, AKA the Covid Car, lives. I got the carbs set up this morning after some hassles with fuel leaks; hooked up the battery and she turned over and fired right up. It actually gave me a bit of a fright because I wasn't really expecting it to start. But she is now ticking over nicely. A bit of popping and banging but nothing that sounds terribly expensive so far. Lots more to do yet but at least I know the main part works. Does any of the emojis signify a huge sigh of relief and immense excitement.

Congratulations & good luck!

Thanks. She will never be as beautiful as your fabulous car, but hopefully will get me around in style for a few years.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and if you drive fast enough no one will ever see the faults as the blur of your S Type Jaguar goes flashing by.
Having said that all our cars have faults, OK possibly not Glyns. I know where they all are on my car and if asked I will point them out but the overall effect of a great looking car blinds the public to the minor faults.

All cars have faults ~ Enjoy! That's what matters.
