After 2 years faithful daily driving service from our 1991 model Mazda 323 Astina, we began looking for a suitable vehicle to upgrade to. Functionality & practicality was paramount, and since we already had 3 Jeeps (in various stages of disrepair) there was no way a Toyota Prado would be parked in our driveway.

We’d joked with a mate about buying his XJ Cherokee, when finally Mei Mei decided she would like a white XJ. In my research I’d determined that I wanted a 97 or newer since they have a new dashboard layout, and full windows for the front doors (instead of the part fixed windows in the earlier models). So once we decided we started shopping.

Saturday 12^th July 2003 we found our XJ…..1998 model (97build) XJ Sport with a low 65,000km. The colour being “Amethyst” is a bluey purple…..nearly white ;-)

 The story begins…….
