THIS IS the story of life with a classic car. I drive a 1972 Jaguar XJ6 and write about it here. I'm Martyn Moore, former editor of Classic Cars magazine. This is a two-year story about the roller coaster ride of classic car ownership. The most recent entries come from a classic car rally in 2005, the last journey I made in the car before putting it into storage. Use links on the right for earlier entries.

Plug scrub
Topped-up oil and water. Cleaned spark plugs. Most are a very light brown or grey with light carbon deposits on outside of bend in outer electrode. Cleaned, gapped and oiled threads.
Didn't start engine. Not going anywhere. Home DIY hell.
