Federal XJ6C: Restoration Begins

Just received this 1976 Federal Jaguar XJ6C with another Series II XJ6L for a parts car. The car will have a complete mechanical restoration by us after body and paint from Jetstream Custom Auto.

Fingers crossed that the Delenaire 2 climate control system is fully functional, the manual on this system is 80 pages alone!

Almost Done: Triumph TR250

This Triumph TR250 restoration began in the USA and was completed here at Owen Automotive to get the car up and running.

The TR250 is a relatively rare Triumph that was made only in one year for North America as an interim model between the Tr4 and Tr6. It uses the TR6’s six-cylinder engine, with twin Stromberg carburettors unlike the fuel injected TR5 in Europe.

Many rare pieces were sourced to complete this car including the Surrey targa top and factory-correct steering wheel.

It was photographed right after an extensive wet-sand and polish by Jetstream Custom Auto.
