Very very nice, has the slipper pad for the cam chain drive been changed ? if not do it ! keep plenty of wax on it as it will turn pink.
You are like me regards wheels, i have to have them minty including nuts and centre caps :?

Been out in Kent in the 944 as there is no way I'd try the Jag in this weather! Up to Norfolk & back yesterday (250ish miles) & out to the bloody sales today with the missus :(

Thanks for all the comments!

SH shows all the belts and chains and associated work undertaken recently.

Been using her as I intended either side of Christmas and really, really pleased. Plenty of performance, very enjoyable to drive and most importantly given my other cars a substantially different driving experience to the 911 and ST. My wife loves the car too which is a big bonus.

Looking forward to the lull after Christmas and some hopefully better weather to do a proper top to bottom, in and out clean and then on to having a serious think about whether to spend a bit of money on making her superb rather than just great. First thoughts are:

Clean and fully restore leather.

Professional valet with a bit of effort on removing the 20 years of fine scratches in the paint - subject to paint thickness of course.

Sympathetic improvements - possibly 968 Steering wheel, cup mirrors and cup wheels. Nothing that can't be put back to original in due course.

:D
