@gigabit87898 I think this is a great opportunity. I'd give it a go. Start by draining all the fluids and replacing all fluids and filters. This includes the radiator fluid. After that, pull the plugs and see if the engine will crank over. You do not want to start it yet. Just have it crank over to see if it does so. Once it does and builds up some oil pressure you can think about replacing the plugs and seeing if it fires. Expect lots of smoke.....Right now just invest minimal. Filters fluids and a new battery for sure. After that talk to your grandpa and see what he thinks. One piece at a time. Jags that series have had some rust issues. Check on that for sure. Also. remember that you must consider the brakes as non-functioning so do not think about driving of somewhere. :-)

First class question and I understand that it is very common to the American market which seems to suffer greatly from not be able to get a vehicle started.
