Clutch: replaced in 2000 and actuators refurbished. Copper pipes fitted.

Rolling: Wheels (chrome plated, wavy hub and tubeless tyres), stub axles and wheel bearings all replace in last 10 years due to worn out splines.

Usage

It has been regularly driven to Jaguar Enthusiast open days and classic car events. I have made regular trips in it to North Wales to indulge my other passion: steam locomotives.
