JEREMEY J. THE PURCHASE Nov. 2006

Introducing my first Jaguar in 23 years. Purchased from Roadbend Jaguar in Perth Western Australia. Due to the complexities of WA beaurocracy, I could not drive it back 4,000klm across the country so, it was transhipped in a container to Melbourne, then by vehicular ferry to my home town in Burnie Tasmania, a further 490klm.
