cpjitservices Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Hi all, This should never have happened but it has, and I don't regret it (yet). I was in Asda the other day doing the usual food shop (as you do), all said and done went to put shopping in the car when what do I see pull in beside the Volvo? KW51 BHV. My previous S Type. In still, a lovely condition. Still immaculate and the sound of that V6 is enticing. Anyway I fell in love and instantly wanted another, just so happens I know someone with one for sale - so a deal has been struck. Collection to commence next weekend. Volvo up for grabs, will use until I have the Jag MOT'd.... so if anyone is interested it'll be going cheap! THe Jag I'm picking up is A 2005 SE Version (Facelift) 3.0 Auto. Watch this space!!!!

Wack Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I had a 4.0 Stype about 7-8 years ago , 300bhp in an old mans slipper , fantastic I wanted an Stype R but they were daft money even then cpjitservices 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rantingYoof Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Hnnnngg. I've got a 'Jag' itch to scratch and the S-Type ticks the boxes in terms of being relatively cheap and plentiful, and the engines/gearboxes both appear to be relatively strong. I have considered a 2.5 V6 with a manual 'box but would clearly 'settle' for a 3.0 V6 with the auto. While I don't think one would ever fully FTP the photos of sills I've seen frighten me; even a clean one-owner-from-new example could hide all sorts of horrors. Need better brave pills I think. cpjitservices 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpjitservices Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 Excited is an understatement. I cant wait to get back behind the wheel of an S Type. I regret letting KW51 BHV go. Collection hopefully on Saturday. Insurance not bad at a measly £780 for the year. rantingYoof 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpjitservices Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 Afraid so, Ifni hadn't of bumped I to my old S type, and a friend of mine offering me his for a good price chances are I would of kept the Volvo. It is going cheap if anyone wants it? I'd like it to stay within Autoshite. If possible. cpjitservices 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rantingYoof Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I browsed through S-Types the other day. All three that would tick my boxes (i.e. facelift, 2.5 or 3.0, manual/auto) were advertised with full MOTs and were over £2k, and all had advisories or past failures for corrosion within prescribed area of seat belt anchorage, and other advisories for 'general underside corrosion'. As much as I know I'd enjoy one I think I'm going to have to bottle it unless a one-owner-from-new-just-want-to-get-rid-because-emigrating-always-garaged-waxoiled example pops up for £1500 or so. Structural rust instils TEH FEAR in me ever since my ebay-bought Mk1 MR2... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMC Rebel Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I like that (also for obvs reason of my X350 XJ with the same engine sitting outside). RantingYoof - have a look at an X350 - they are made of Aluminium. I don't "do" leapers but that's just one of those marmite things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
