I couldn't even make something like that up. I would like to fart up to some 'trendy' DUBBA event in it though, preferably dressed in some not-quite-accurate period costume.

dollywobbler Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 You want fat rumps do you Bo11? HAVE THIS:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1981-CADILLAC-Dev ... 0531711509I would love to waste a stack of cash on something like this.Gawd, I actually quite like that and fancy cruising up the A1 in it looking like the king of cool. Would be fun to own something with an engine more than ten times the size of the one in the 2CV. Until I needed fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Station Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I haven't even made my New Year's Resolution yet but I feel the need to break it already.... My French teacher had one of those (to transport his devout christian lifestyle 10 kids around in)! It did look futuristic then, and still does (only a little more worn out).

Mr_Bo11ox Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Heres another strangely appealing old XJ40. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1989-JAGUAR-SOVEREIGN-3-6-AUTO-BLACK_W0QQitemZ120512440690 I could really fancy buying one of these just for a long shite-spotting road trip down to the mountains of central France or something, purely as a self-indulgent treat for myself this summer. I may allow Ms_Bol to come along as well of course and the stereo would need to be able to take an Ipod. Just imagine wafting along, low-set in those leather chairs, no gears to change, bit of insulation tape over all the multiple flickering warning lights on the dsah, stopping for a petit cafe now and then, going nowhere in particular, just admiring the views. Bliss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChinaTom Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 ^XJ40's: Go for it! They are so cheap now. The best drives of my life have been transcontinental blasts in the Jag. Once drove from Peterborough to Munich in one go (stopping only for Chunnel and a few piss-breaks). I'm getting mine ready for a 2010 jaunt to southern Italy to buy some crockery, with a return journey via Baune to stock up with Meursault.The 3.6's are fine motors, but you may prefer the later 4.0 ones. No need to pay more than £750 for a really good one with full MoT. You could probably make money on a tat-buying mission by buying one here in UK, and selling it in France where even RHD ones make 3 or 4 times the UK value. Go in the Jag, come back in a Tagora bought with the profits. Repeat with a 604, and again with a Simca van. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Bo11ox Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 A couple of weeks ago that dusty cream-coloured 2-door one made £2200 or so in 'as pulled out of a barn' condition! They are really copping the big OSF levy nowadays. To be fair they are a great looking car like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because it was made in 81 it doesn't mean that it would be registered at the same time. It most likely sat at a dealership for a while before being snapped up by some lucky bugger.

As far as i know they were not Jersey imports or out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Cars don't survive well on the coast, and this is likely to have been driven into the sea to launch boats. I doubt if there will be a single good component. Even the galvanised chassis will be buggered http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190360870448 All is not lost though. Expect this to be fully restored using parts from a 2009 Defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CortinaDave Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I wonder who it is thats paying the huge £ for cortinas these days.I love the things more than most but even I can see that they're just not THAT good to be worth £3k odd.especially not when I was paying 500 notes in the not too distant past!! madness.
