NINE XJC 's IN COUPE CENTRAL ! ! !
'
Just Jags ' in Sydney, home of the Broadspeed Racing Coupe, played
host recently to nine coupes ! !
Affectionately known in Sydney as Coupe Central, Just Jags is the
Jaguar workshop owned and operated by Peter Sloss. Peter owns
four...or is that five XJC 's, so there is nothing that they do not
know, about repairing, restoring or tuning an XJC. Sadly no
pics were taken of this coupe gathering in Sydney's inner
west.

DAIMLER COUPES FOUND IN GREECE !
We
were delighted to hear recently from one of our XJC friends in
Europe. George Kathreptis, a life long Jaguar fan from Greece,
had unearthed the location of two rare Daimler Sovereign
coupes.
The
dark blue one was abandoned after an engine bay fire. George tracked
down the owner but he still wanted US$15,000 for the burnt offering
!!!
The
Silver one is in much better condition, thankfully, but the hot asking
price is US$20,000 !!
As there were only 9 Daimler Sovereign coupes delivered to Greece,
this seems to be why they are commanding such enormously high
premiums.

A 6 AND A 12 OUT WEST
This
great looking 2 pack of coupes were once owned by long time XJC
devotee Col Hayward. Col sold this pair a while back but has
recently taken possession of a Signal Red XJ12C. Hopefully
we can bring you a photo of Col 's new baby soonest.

THEY NEVER BREAK DOWN
|
Your XJC will
never break down... but sometimes, and thankfully not often,
your coupe might fail to proceed. If this should happen
to you, then remember at all times to keep your dignity. Keep
that upper lip stiff and still. You will loose points for even
the slightest quiver ! |

XJC GOES
UNDER THE KNIFE IN FINLAND
|
from this
 to this
|
One of the very first XJC 's to leave the factory in
1975 is about to undergo some cosmetic surgery in Finland. This LHD V12 was originally shipped to Belgium. It now resides in
Finland, where new owner Jyri Jarvenkyla is making a striking
transformation. Originally shipped out in Greensand
with Olive leather interior, this new look coupe will be finished
in a Metallic green, very similar to the F1 Jaguar Racing
Green. Jyri will keep us posted with pics of the change
over. |
