The breakers yard could have been calling, but the owner, willie, took the stance, if we could get it through the mot and fix the gearbox without breaking the bank, maybe she was worth a little more time.
We were delighted to be given the opportunity with this Jaguar XJR, to give her a new lease of life; sometimes when they get a little tired it’s easier to consider selling them on, this old girl came in to us with a failed MOT and a gearbox that would not hold in gear.
Mission completed! and willie is delighted.
Now she has gone on to have a full makeover, paintwork refurbishment, trim and wheels too, as well and full mechanical refit and upgrades. She is literally better than new. We cried like babies when it was time for her to go safely home with Papa Willie.
