You really turned this around this one Al great work and the new wood really lifted the interior you cant really tell the wheels or paint have issues now you've cleaned it up. Also yeah the century old argument of how to pronounce vanden plas most of us across the pond pronounce it as Vanden-plah but many argure it should pronounced Plass but we also abbreviate it to VDP so that way you don't have to pronouce it at all therefore no arguments

Hi Al from the UK. Great video my man, you deserve more subscribers than you have. You have one of the few channels that i always watch from start to finish. Many others i get bored & skip. Dont want to sound an arse here, but the correct pronunciation of Vanden Plas, is Vanden Pla, the S is silent. Only older folk from the UK like myself will probably know.

Al you really have done a lovely job with this beautiful old girl. You’ve been so sympathetic with it, the wood upgrade from the Vanden Plas (it’s’Plaaah’ so you nearly said it correctly!) The Car Wizard’s XJ12 was hugely popular on his channel - there is something so appealing about these XJs! If you think the chrome alloys are rare there, then they are non-existent here in the UK. UK buyers never liked chrome wheels - the Mondeo/Contour had them as an option but apart from the RHD PT Cruisers, Neons and 300Cs that we got, no manufacturer offered them lol. You can’t really tell much difference with the non-VP wood trims in the back doors. Another awesome video Al, you rock.

Could finally see the paint (up close) all the cracks in the paint is pretty normal for older jags. My 1982 Series 3 XJ6 along with the parts car I had and my buddy’s 1985 Series 3 XJ6 all had the same issue with the paint

I love this car! If I found one in the same shape It’d grab it as a second car. I’ve had Jags before and I wouldn’t want one to rely on as my only vehicle. Two of them were a ‘67 & ‘66 XKE’s that were pretty reliable other then the well known electrical issues which are not a problem for me in as much as the electronics back then were relatively simple and I’m an electronic engineer. I did replace one alternator with a GM unit with an integral regulator and the heater fan motor with a GM unit. Other then the enormous pain in the a** of having to drop the rear end assembly to do the rear brakes they were pretty good cars. I can’t say the same for the other Jags I had, especially the XJS. Fantastic driving car when it was drivable! You did a splendid job on this Jag. The repair you did on the front bumper came out much better than I expected. Fantastic car to drive, isn’t it?

I changed all my interior trim from crappy grey to the burr walnut wood in my 2005 V70 - it is unfortunately plastic wood but the transformation to the interior was immense. I love the 90s style of leather, chrome and wood. Hate these all -black interiors.

You can even use a very fine steel wool pad to clean plastic chromed parts. It will not damage those finishes either...
