Any idea how much they are asking?

There’s a very very nice one in Unilag (university of Lagos) I think it’s for sale because it doesn’t have any number plate. It’s black in color and is almost like brand new. When You get to Unilag gate, ask anyone for the amphitheater by the sports center. You can’t miss it

No I’m not sure of the price. they just put the number plate, but You can visit them and just ask around bcuz the owner hangs around there. I’m guessing the number plate is there just for security reasons such as to deter theives or policemen. I’m very sure it didn’t have a plate before. I’m more than 60% sure it may be for sale

You can try your luck

Saw her for sale in Japan for a very good price, imported her to the uk, then lagos (this is about 15 years ago)
Never had any engine issues with her, but have had wear and tear on parts.
Most parts are available @ Ladipo(but they will charge premium).
Parts I cannot source from Ladipo, I source from the UK.
The bodywork on my model suffers from a lot of rusting issues, so essential bodywork maintenance is a must.
My Kazeem, is a chap called Kayode. He has had total control of the mechanical maintenance of ugly beatty from day one, he understands her wella(he gets rewarded wella for his hardwork).

How do you buy your jaguar parts from the UK

How do you buy your jaguar parts from the UK

I am based in the UK.......

Ok guys. Will answer. The secret is simple. 3 things

1. You cannot find good parts for such a classic car in Nigeria. Be ready to ship in those specific parts that will make a difference in your Jag. E.g. I shipped in service parts, plugs, brake pads, key fob, injectors, body parts, plastics etc. All those small items that surely you can’t find here. Shipping is easy. The danger is in shipping from UK. I have bought right hand parts by mistake twice now. There are shippers in the US and UK. You can easily get any of them. I can refer if you want.

2. Do the replacement yourself - mechanics are terrible. For the 1 day I left an electrician to replace a part in the car, he literarily almost destroyed the car for me. They just keep breaking things. So u have to be there. Get dirty with them and monitor everything they do.

3. Jag is a wonderful car. But try and read a lot before any job on the car. Watch videos and join as many forums as possible. Lots of useful advice there.

To be clear for mine, I imported all of the above including a new set of keys (which was the first problem the car had when it was abandoned!). To start the car, we ripped out the injectors. I ripped out everything I suspected had been tampered with.

Since it had been sitting there for more than 5 years, the fuel in the car had returned to crude oil!!! Literarily! The Electricals were gone (bad Rewire!). All these available online.

So my engine is a 3.2L. Inline 6. This and the 4.0 version are still deemed the best engines of all.

I have being seeing some XJ12 Jags. Honestly I am tempted.

Sadly I don’t consider any XF, X type or S type as being true Jags. Sadly. I don’t think we have the mechanics for the in Ngeria.

So I will post more pics of the restoration before I post the final.

In attached pics, that was the fuel pump I found in the tank. I saw cut wires in the boot (very notorious problem) and we worked sometimes late at night (I enlisted two young mechanic boys who didn’t know anything about Jaguar. We all watched the videos together).

It has been an interesting journey.
