Welcome to our 1978 Jaguar XJ6 Series 2 barn find. The Jag was stored in a garage not far from us, only a couple of miles away, since 1999, 24 years ago, when it was taken off the road for maintenance by it’s previous owner.

In this episode we begin the job of tidying up the engine bay, starting with a refurb of the cam covers, including new gasket etc. We also give the automatic transmission a service with new oil and filter.

The challenge we have set ourselves in this Jaguar barn find series, is to revive the Jag and to get the car back on the road again.

So let’s crack on, We hope you enjoy the episode

Huge thank you for watching.
