Finally Got My Dream Car

[kennedy]

Good for you. I can't afford my dream car a 1970 Lamborghini Miura S. I did just buy this amazing classy old Jaguar Mk II. Like your car it doesn't have power steering or ac. A retro ac kit is $2200. I haven't checked on a power steering kit yet. I haven't ever got the car home yet.View attachment 264643

Very nice. I think I found a/c for around $1800 and the EPAS steering system for around $1400. It can get expensive quick, but worth it

It's worth spending the money if you plan on keeping the car. These Jaguars average $30,000 when sold according to the web. I hope they are right if I ever sell it.

I plan on handing this down to my son. That makes it worth everything.

You might look into a Borgeson power steering conversion, you can get that for around $1100. And Classic Auto Air can be had for around $1400.

I have the Borgeson on my 68 and it's pretty nice. A LOT better than the beat to death stock manual steering box that was on it when I bought it.

Thanks for the info, I'll look into those.

I'm feeling a little buffer after just a couple drives.

I grew up with non-power steering. During fast turns you will learn to let the wheel go and when to grab it when getting around the corner. It can actually be much more precise steering vs power steering once you learn the technique. Try it, you might be surprised.
Normal driving, you need power steering.

Lol

Can you adopt me even though I'm older?

I've driven cars with manual steering in the past and know the techniques...I just dislike it
