The mechanical work - although heavy - is likely to be straightforward. But the body work could be never ending. I would say get it VERY thoroughly surveyed before doing any work on it. Surely if you join the local Jag Owners Club - they will advise contacts ? And finally - if you do get it running - what about the cost of fuel for that monster engine !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
