 The
purpose of our site is to share information, thoughts and images of
our 1965 Jaguar 3.8 S, and other interesting old small Jaguar saloons.
My hope is that others with similar cars and interests might contact
us and share their experiences. My car is in pretty good
shape, but there are lots of things I'd like to do to improve its
looks and performance. I'll share those adventures as time
goes on. We've only had the car since February, 2009...so most
of what we've done has been in cleaning the car up and fixing the
little things. The trunk lid had posed a bit of trouble for
the previous owner, but we cleaned up the latches and it closes fine
now. We decided early on to
convert the car to negative ground
- a simple procedure, but one that required buying a new negative
ground fuel pump. Lots of little things need attention: dried
out gaskets, brittle rubber trim and hoses, etc. The
carburetors leak - so a rebuild kit has been ordered. We will
be flushing the radiator and replacing the hoses (most of which look
almost new, but are decades old and brittle). We'll be
bleeding the brakes to get as much of the old fluid out as possible,
and slowly replace as many edgy items with newer stuff as time and
our wallets allow. It should be fun. |
