Quick update on my car. Got my coilovers a week ago. Box said it would lower it about 5,5 cm. When I installed them and put it on all fours again, it was more like a 12-14 cm drop.

This is how it was:

And after installing the coilovers:

I'm driving on my old set of steelies at the moment since I still need to refurbish my alloys 15" wheels. I also bought a complete interior from the luxury edition of this model, which I can pick up tomorrow.

Nope, 230E, 0,8 mm milled head and 276 degree Dbilas camshaft, shame that I missed a good deal on an AMG (or Brabus? don't remember) exhaust header last winter.......

I've read about a Jaguar club in Northern California called "Sons of Lucas," for obvious reasons.

Funny yea I heard all the jokes and comments about Lucas and Jags guy been around Jags for a long time no worry no offense ever taken 

Has I say A car is Just Another Car But a Jaguar is a Jaguar ?

Don aka XJ6 ?

A Jaguar that is broken down will still look cool, a Hyundai that is broken down won't. ;)

Now that one I have not heard and speaks the Truth ?

Don aka XJ6 ?

Here's mine, nothing special. 2001 Expedition and 1996 F-150 Eddie Bauer. Paid $1000 for the F-150 several years ago. It's one of the best trucks I've ever owned.

Great looking F150 I like that series as much as the 61-66's, Great trucks, towed race cars with one and a similar Bronco. Cool.

Man oh Man!    I have always wanted a VC ute!  My first car here in the USA was a 1966 Valiant, which is the same body as your VC.  Once I saw that it had been done as a ute, I've needed one ever since.   Great cars!
