This was my first year in the bay to birdwood, but we did have a slow run when we reached the end of Main NE Rd.

Well I think we have done it - the Green Genie, had her transmission mount repaired, she has now SA reg and we have taken her for a small run. We have some minor things to do but they are not crucial to the running of the car, they will have to wait…

The Green Genie, managed to pass inspection to have SA plates, so off to motor reg (MRD) or to the younger SA generation Transport SA to get the plates from my old white Tardis (custom plates XJ6-JAG) over to the Green Genie. So here was the list o…

Death and Birth of a Jaguar

October 2008 I purchases a 1973 series 1 xj6 (known as the Tardis) to enter into the Bay to Birdwood, life was good and we were well on our way to having her ready for this event. Unfortunately she was rear ended and mortally wounded, March 2008. My world was shattered.

April 2009 I found a not so good 1972 series 1 xj6 to replace the Tardis, so we are trying to get her up to speed to be ready to enter the 2009 Bay to birdwood. Known as the green genie, we are working hard to ensure she is ready. The Green Genie is willow green with suede green leather interior, a lot of work is required to get her to the same place as the Tardis - so onward and upward.

XJ6-JAG Update 26/09/2009

Well it's almost here - the day we have been waiting for - The Bay to Birdwood classic.
To all those sceptics out there who said we wouldn't make it - I sick my tongue out and blow raspberries blllew......

Despite having 8 weeks out with pneumonia - the Green Genie is in a state to actually drive, not overly pretty - the interior still needs a lot of work - but we made it.

Today saw us have the front window tint replaced after it was deemed too dark by the MRD when we went for a vehicle number… Continue

XJ6-JAG Update 25/09/2009

Today we have achieved a lot - we managed to change the SU's from the "Tardis" to the "Green Genie" and also get the manual choke hooked up, so no more excessive cranking the motor to get it to start.

The speedo was fixed, we had already taken the revamped one from the "Tardis" to the "Green Genie" but there was something else wrong, and we found that the speedo drive on the trans was shot, the again the "Tardis" kindly donated to get the speedo working.

And finally we took the fuel pump from… Continue

XJ6-JAG Update 22/09/2009

Well I think we have done it - the Green Genie, had her transmission mount repaired, she has now SA reg and we have taken her for a small run. We have some minor things to do but they are not crucial to the running of the car, they will have to wait.
We will be changing the Tardis SU's to the Green Genie on Saturday and hoping to replace the passenger side front electric window motor

XJ6 - Update 18/09/2009

The Green Genie, managed to pass inspection to have SA plates, so off to motor reg (MRD) or to the younger SA generation Transport SA to get the plates from my old white Tardis (custom plates XJ6-JAG) over to the Green Genie.

So here was the list of events to do this
The Tardis is actually now written off - so
Cancel the registration - but to do this you are suppose to surrender your plates (over my dead body) these custom plates are brilliant (XJ6-JAG)

So
We transfered the plates and H… Continue

XJ6 - Update 16/09/2009

We are slowly moving along, we are still hoping to be there on Sunday 27th Sept - we are entry 0081, off to Motor Reg tomorrow to get vehicle number check - since the Green Genie is originally QLD plated. All going well you will see us at Bay to Birdwood with the old Tardis number plates - XJ6-JAG. The Green Genie may not be in the renovated state that I would have liked, but as long as we make it there at the moment it will have to do, she may not look as pretty for the party but we don't mind… Continue

Hi Anne and thanks,

My car is a 1970 LC GTR TORANA. (Metalic Silver)

I'll post some photos soon.

Unfortunately I won't be in the 2009 B2B as I still have a few things to fix up.

As a Professional Photographer, I'll again be taking my camera along to take photos of the cars there on the day.

Regards,
Dean

ThanksAnne Marie. The later Alvis "Alison" and the Bristol will be in the B2B this year.
" Alice" the earlier Alvis will have to wait until next year! I'm letting a friend drive one car, as his grandson was entered as well. I like the green XJ6
