LaxTV Forums | A Forum About The MCLA

About a year ago, my dad came across a 1974 Jaguar XJ12-L. It is very similar to the one below (including the right hand drive) but in a powder blue. It is in pretty rough shape and we are trying to fix it up a little bit. If anyone knows where to find a good selection of parts for an old Jaguar (things like another side view mirror), it would be very helpful, as there are several things to be done to this car.

Thanks. Its always fun driving by people and watching them as they look. They always look the first time just cause its a cool car. Then the second time its cause they realized I was on the other side of the car and I was the only one in there.

Ive poked around a lot of the sites already and several are pretty much all the same site with a different store front. I was wondering if there were any hidden jems anyone knew about from doing work on older cars and what not.

I was also wondering if anyone knew why 6 of the spark plugs are fine (the ones on the left as you look from the firewall) and the ones on the other side are black possibly with carbon. Is it a carb problem or possibly an air filter? Those are our first thoughts. It has 4 carburetors and 2 air filters (2 carbs on each side and one air filter for each side). Did I mention that its a v-12?
