First, get an objective look at the current "issues" with the car. Contact The Jag Shop or Consolidated Motors. Both are honest shops and competent to assess & repair since they're marque specialists.

I would ask the shop to prioritize what they have found into "must do," "do soon" and "whenever" items.

You don't have to restore the car, you should make it reliable and safe.

If you are a member of AAA contact them about Haggerty insurance on your car for an agreed-value coverage.

Your repairs should not be that expensive, and if you want to do a little work as a do-it-yourself project, I would recommend joining the Jaguar Owners Club of Oregon and finding some members that can offer advice, or possibly assist you with the jobs you feel you want to do yourself. Oil changes and other items are always simple to do if you have a ramp or jacks to support the car. Don't forget to block the wheels!

You can use a good car cover if the weather is particularly nasty. Use a good quality surface treatment - Meguirs, Zymol, Griot's all come to mind. I prefer the excellent products you get from Griot's. Buy their kit, it's worth the $ for every car you own.

A well-maintained car is much less expensive than one that has things put off until you have to tow it to the shop.

Look forward to seeing you on the membership rolls.
