In this video we cure a post wedding hangover by trying to get the old jaguar we abandoned in a barn 10 years ago back to life once again!
The amazing noco jump pack used in this video can be found here, highly recommended!

She wants to live ... so let her live! Don't wreck it on track, put it back on the road! 😁

Lol I'm surprised it didn't snap in half. Tend to get a tad rusty underneath 😅

"Should We Fix It" Yes, shes a cool ole cat, desperately wants to run and go back on the road, plenty of life left in her yet, even after 182,381 miles! Like to see a jet-washing video of it next!

Don't see many of those old Jags any more. Seems a shame to deliberately wreck it.

@@fittermat Yes. After writing this comment I remembered the state of a 500 quid Jag I looked at buying back in 2015. It looked OK from a distance, but up close it was a right old heap only fit for a banger racing track.

I had a XJ40 about 15 years ago it was great fun. A white povety spec XJ40 with steels and cloth seats could mean its an ex police car. I saw clean it up and put it back onnthe road as long as its not to rotten underneath, either way theres a lot of useful parts on there for a specialist.

@@colinritchie1757 Never owned one but have a story about an expensive one.., the owner of Ticketmaster (Noel Harrison) bought a Georgian/Victorian mansion (Tubber Na Carrig) which I was decorating just inside Kircubbin NI.., 6.2 Jag F-Type.., he was just back from Dubai and had to pick his 2 dogs up from the kennels, he asked if he could borrow my Fiesta and I said sure, he said the keys were in the jag incase I needed to pop out anywhere, I just said dont tempt me 😛

Looks good on the surface (in spite of the dirt) but I wonder what a close inspection would reveal. Still, looks and sounds like it would be worth the effort to bring it back.

Long time no see. Welcome back. Warrington & District Motor Club run gravel autosolos in a quarry in Conwy, North Wales, which are an absolute hoot. Weld the diff and bring her up to one of our events. Theres a scrapyard next door, so if you kill it you could weigh it in afterwards. In days gone by we did see how many people we could fit into one car for a stage. - Someone brought a people carrier to an event and we all piled into it for a laugh. You might find it'll be a lot quicker with some fresh fuel. Modern petrol doesn't age well. - Speaking from experience.

If prices are as wild on used cars as they are on this side of the pond, you might be able to get a good return on your 400 pound investment even if its rusted to bits.
