It's Beaulieu Autojumble next weekend and I've just realised I haven't cleaned the Jaguar since the Spring event! Good grief.
Washed and took it for a run in the sun to dry it out. The temperature gauge was way up to the 'L' of normal - much hotter than the car has ever run. I stopped at a lay-by and saw those rotten drips from the water pump again. Two fat drips a second. It's a problem.
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.
