Wah, this car already like classic leh. You might try UK websites if they can help u.

 

U might also try the local agent, but I can bet u they will b DAMM EX. if they have the parts.

 

Does he use this car for daily driving or keep as a collectors piece?

[En0203]

ya, classic

 

my uncle plans to use it daily, that's why my grandpa wants to restore it, but slowly, coz pocket not deep enough

 

currently my grandpa is paying the road tax, i plan to pay for the road tax myself later when it expires if nobody wants to use it

 

hmm.. i think u are rite, local agent will be

 

anyway, i just found a UK shop speciallized in selling classic jaguar spare parts and accept online ordering also with courier service. printed out the catalogue. will sit down with my grandpa and uncle to decide on what parts to buy when 3 of us are free

hmm... what model is that? can take pic lemme see? classic cars are nice.

[En0203]

er.. just an old car, not many likes it

 

here are some photos, paint work very cialat liao

[Ahhan7]

wow..nice! i think when the car is restored and used again on the road, it's a head turner!

[En0203]

haha even now with the bad paint condition it's catching a lot of attention on the road

Your grandpa in Malaysia right?

[En0203]

yup, we can never afford such a car in singapore

 

in MY, we can just stop paying for road tax and insurance anytime when we run out of money and continue later when are deeper in pocket

Wow what a classic!! It'll look stunning in black

 

Is it still in running condition now?

[Pisces69]

Wow. That's a real beauty. If u got the $$$, get it restored slowly, bit by bit. In MY sud not b too ex compared to other countries.

 

That's a classic. What you need is a mechanic who loves these type of cars & he will put his heart & soul in bringing this beauty back to it's original glory.

 

Be prepared to spend though. Spares for it will b hard to come by. If u get a good mechanic, he can improvise parts from other cars to work with it.

 

Is it in good mechanical condition???

 

PS: Number plate also damm stylo.

sigh, too bad my grandpa doesn't like black

 

he wants it red

 

it's still running and kicking, but we seldom drive it coz the brake is not good. 1st project is to restore the brake first

[Decibel]

Here's one in sg.

 

There is a mech here who restores and fixes such cars, but shld be quite ex i suppose, think its called David's garage or something like that.

[Vit4wd]

No need to pay road tax also can drive ah?

[Vit4wd]

Wa sia! What a beauty!

 

But the road very high - over S$10K annual, with 50% surcharge!!!

[Pisces69]

Wow. I think i'm falling in love all over again.

 

Seeing all these old classics.

ya, we are planning to restore it slowly, bit by bit. first will be the brake and paint work. we are in the process of sourcing spare parts, once that is done, we'll proceed to sourcing for mechanics

 

but talking about paint work, it would be a heart paint to remove the internal protective coating. u know, this car still bear the original paint work from 1966. until now, even if the external coating has chipped off, the internal coating is so strong that it is still rust free even after so many years

 

that's why now thinking of removing the protective coating i also heart paint

 

mechanical condition wise, it is still running strong

but we are having problem with electrical wiring, needs to re-run all the cables

[En0203]

 

wait i save enough money i'll make it looks as good as this one
