- In part three of my £500 Jaguar XJ (XJ350) project, things are finally coming together. For the first time on the Fuel Up Classic channel, I can present to you a nearly complete modern classic.
The result of countless hours of work, replacement parts, and endless frustration feels all worthwhile. We're finally on the home straight with this bargain Jaguar but have we blown the budget in bringing this big cat back to life and what is left to do?
It's been a lot of hard work, but I can't help to think that it's always better to save a classic than simply buy something new - what do you think?
Congratulations! You have done very well. I do love all Jaguars and one that is being fixed like this, well, ♥.
I have an '06 XJ8 with 64,000kms. I've owned it for 16 yrs and it still dives like new. However, as we live in Alberta, Canada, it goes into hibernation in early November and isn't woken up until May.
Well done fro persevering. I was one of those who thought this could go either way but I’m glad it’s been given a new lease of life. Of recent I’ve been finding myself battling through issues on my own cars of this era & sometimes despairing but one by one I’m tackling them & learning along the way.
(Once it's fixed) It's always fun diagnosing and fixing an older car. Well done she does look good.
Excellent restoration. This is Jaguar! I would like to see this car running next time. Thank you🙏
Great job, looks lovely. I might of tried a silver grill on it
Great job so far! Just a few finishing touches and you're there! Well done.
Congrats on progress so far, you've worked hard since the last video - will look forward to the next instalment !
Great job... I notice you are missing two N/S headlight washer jet holders... They can be difficult to locate but are available on the net and you can also get them 3D printed in a neutral colour and get them sprayed.
I would have liked to see those videos of the repair process… it’s seeing the actual struggle that makes it real
Looking good well done
very nice, mister sir!
Looking good Bud 👍
Great job mate
Nice one Matt
Well done for saving this Jag. I have just bought exactly the same model and age and in good condition for £2K so pricing I think you are about right. I am getting my wheels refurbished. These cars are the ultimate of the UK
Nice result. Would have been great to see the process.

Beware if rust in the older cars as well..my 1997 had corrosion on certain spots.
