Dear all
I have just joined and live in Canterbury Kent
My quest for a reasonable (in price and condition) series 1 roadster continues, I hope to have one soon and look forward to meeting you all
Best wishes

"Reasonable price" and "Reasonable Condition" are mutually exclusive terms when discussing a Series 1. And just wait until you join the rest of us Jag owners in the poor house. That's when the fun begins!
Good luck with your search and welcome to the forum.

Welcome Chan. S1 prices are now getting really high and that does not necessarily mean you will get a decent car. Have you thought of an S2 because not only were they better developed rust free and original LHD cars can be found. Check out Angus's site and you will see what I mean:
