I am looking for a high end, well equipped, honest and knowledgable shop within 400 miles of New Orleans whose technicians have been factory trained and experienced on XJS V12 6 liter cars. I can't find anyone in the New Orleans who fits this bill. I love my car but it needs a few things repaired or explained.
Thanks.
Robert Purves

Robert,
Our family name was originally spelled with an "E" as well. It changed a couple of generations ago. Originally from Scotland, John Purves came to S.C. in 1765. I'm a direct descendent of his.
Sorry about hi-jacking the thread. I just thought I'd ask as you don't see that spelling too often. Cheers.

Brad,
No relatives in Mississippi or anywhere. My name is spelled with an "e" instead of an "I" (Purves). There is a little town in Miss. Called Purvis, Miss.
Take.care.

Robert - I suggest you contact Mike Cook of the Houston Jag Club (info via the JCNA web site). He should be able to help. We have 3 really good Jag mechanics here in Dallas but a little further from you
