Drove to the Beaulieu Autojumble in the rain. Jaguar on display at the Practical Classics stand. Gave it a good wash when I arrived. Many people recognised it and came to talk about it.
Bought a couple of spare headlight switches, which was a good thing because I burned out another on the way home on Sunday night. Terrible weather but a lot of fun with News Editor Nigel Boothman's Rover playing up. Fixed wipers with hawthorn twigs and finished just as the rain stopped.
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.
