PROJECT X: Jaguar X type, bodywork restoration and overview: PART 1

This car has arrived for some bodywork correction and a full service. In this first video, there is a brief overview of the customer's requirements and a close look at this low mileage example.

Nice video. Waiting part 2. 1 correction : only 2.5 and 3.0 awd. 2.1 is front wheel drive.

I am aware that the 2.1 was fwd only otherwise the tax band would increase. We sold an estate, automatic 3.0 AWD and the tax was eye watering for the value of the car. We are working on it this week, so an update will be coming soon 😁

@@stefansworld3351 ok :) it is obvious that you know these cars :)

By the way, the only interior part an X-type shares with Mondeo 3 is the rear dome light. As for the exterior, I found nothing in common.

[@stefansworld3351]

Nothing I can see on the exterior. The interior also shares the seat height adjustment button with the Mondeo and the handbrake lever grab section from a MK4 Fiesta.

[@ronaldhamblin4615]

Yes and the light switch is Mondeo and focus floor pan running gear is all Mondeo ​@@stefansworld3351
