    The Jag interior is looking great with all your hard work. Agree it is worth saving.

    Have a 4.0 as a daily driver with Celtics and I love it - so a vote from me on that front. Have just replaced the water pump and thermo housing and rail as a precaution. You may not need to as yours is lower mileage. Would like a video on upgrading the lights when you do it. Excellent show btw - much appreciated.

    Personally, I would keep the original wheels. The seats will pass but you can see they are different on camera. I think to get the most out of the car whatever you do with it, it needs a paint job. Not saying it needs to first class but a good paint job will add value and appeal to more buyers. Well done so far young man!

      My thoughts exactly… I like the honesty of the understated 15” wheels and taller tyres to match the 3.2 engine… it will be good to see that get some minor attention for full performance….

    Regarding the other YT video of the Penetrol. I probably would have used a buffing machine either to apply it and then buff it. Then I would have applied the Acrylic over the Penetrol. Impressive results anyhow.

    Looking good. Your test drive route is very familiar, used to live around there. Nice to see. Cheers.

    Great work Brett. Regarding the paint, I've not used it myself, but a guy I know, who tows my cars, has used Penetrol. My tow guy has used it, conicidentally on a dark green car too, and it brought up the paint to a good standard. Here's his video ua-cam.com/video/K8sTAfVj0tI/v-deo.html

    What's the cost of a wrap compared to a full paint job?

    Celtic is possibly the ugliest Jaguar wheel there is.🤨 Just my opinion. Keep the Lunars!
