I've owned several Jaguars in my young life, the last sold away in 1978. I still have an extra head gasket set, valve adjusting tools and books for 3.8 and 4.2 six cylinder engines (and will not give them up).

I sold my old Volkswagon back in 1976 yet I still have an outside mirror, choke cable, bumper and Becker tube radio for it. Never know when I might need 'em.

If You have a valve adjusting shim kit and cam timing gauge/tensioner tools to go with the rest of this You have about $600-900 worth of stuff there. Even more if it is the right brand (O.E.M.)

Sounds like a Jaguar, the manuals outlast the engines.

I went away from this thread for the day to do some paying work... and all the while I was thinking about all the junk I've accumulated during my 12 year stay at this house. When I got home from work I went up into the attic and just started "parting with" stuff. My attic looks a whole lot better, I broke a nail, and the trashmen are gonna hate me.

And now I can justify parking my behind and "resting" at the computer for a bit.

P.S. I tossed (without a pang of guilt) a bunch of body parts for an Isuzu Trooper. Jaguar parts are probably worth more than Isuzu stuff.
