I double dated with a friend from high school who had a ‘54 hardtop with three on the tree. Returning to the car with our dates it would not turn over. I pushed it all over the parking lot while he popped the clutch but it wouldn’t start. He finally walked to a phone booth and called his dad. The first thing his dad asked was “did you check the cable to the starter?” We looked at each other while he crawled under the front in and said “try it now.” Started right up!! Our dates were impressed….. with his dad!😂

Glad you learned to like the Jaguar front suspension. I started working for Jag in 88 and retired from there about 5 years ago. That suspension was used in cars capable of 140mph and even more. It will be interesting to see if the shock mounts clear on on bump. I remember you working on that one in the little garage after the fire. I bet it feels spoilt in it's swanky new surroundings. All the best, Mart in England.

Funny about parts on a Jag. Had to rebuild the alternator on Ambassador Lils Jag at a generic electrical shop. After tearing it down had all of the parts in stock. This was in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Alternator was under the a/c compressor but slid out between the frame and the center link with a tweak from a pry bar of about 1/8". R&R of the actual alternator was about 20 minutes. Too bad she was a helicopter customer, otherwise it was an easy job. This was in 1990. Think the Jag was a 70s F type.

The ride height in the front can easily be lowered by shimming the lower spring cup. A lot of those clips both front and rear were assembled as module in the US and shipped to the assembly plant in England when FORD owned Jag.

Jaguar built that front suspension 50 years before Ford owned it
