320touring Posted August 20, 2017 Author Posted August 20, 2017 GET THEE BEHIND ME, SCTSH!!!!!!! I could do payment terms, and Cannock delivery. You could have sublime and ridiculous on the driveway:) All the comfort and none of the hassle of an xj40;)

dollywobbler Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 I fear you may have me confused for another personage.. No, I'm sure it was you. You definitely said a Proton Aeroback with the wrong coloured bonnet was the car of your dreams. I don't make this stuff up. Slartibartfast, John F, chaseracer and 7 others 10
dome Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 Sniff. I'll bring it south for a potential buyer when I come to pick up the roffle s class I'm going to win. Cavcraft, 320touring and rantingYoof 3

rantingYoof Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 If it comes south then all I ask is a flying visit. Five mins from the M1, 15a. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
Frogchod Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 Oof. Swap for LHD XM 2.5td ?Or a Rialto ?Or an XJ600 ?
320touring Posted August 21, 2017 Author Posted August 21, 2017 Is the timing belt due?I'd imagine it probably is- I've not changed it and no receipt with the car to say it has been done. Can any previous shiter owner say if they have done it?

I am scarred by memories of driving 800s at auction- the only one that would tempt would be a fastback Tseries Vitesse, sorry!
eddyramrod Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 Oh well, it cost nothing to ask! Roffle? I had a drive of an LS400 that was to be bangered a couple of years ago, so I'd like to get my hands on a better example!
John F Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 I am SO PLEASED that these are only available as autos, otherwise this would be very tempting indeed.
rantingYoof Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 There was a sticker on the engine saying the belt had been done when I had it... ...in the year 2000 at around 70k. Lacquer Peel 1

As I understand it, the HILUX manual box from a certain model enables conversion - in fact I know of a hilux receiving a v8 transplant:) There was a sticker on the engine saying the belt had been done when I had it... ...in the year 2000 at around 70k.At least it ain't original:) rantingYoof 1
BavarianRetro Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 My pal has a lovely JRG LS460 he bought new in 2009 for £78000. It has done 40 odd thousand miles and has a full service history at the dealers. He is looking to trade it in against the new sports thing. They offered him £9000 - which I thought was quite a lot, but £69000 in depreciation alone in 8 years. £8500 a year. £700 a month in depreciation. You can buy virtually the same car here for one month's depreciation. Supernaut, barefoot, Laseraligningfoofooflanges and 2 others 5

I am scarred by memories of driving 800s at auction- the only one that would tempt would be a fastback Tseries Vitesse, sorry! Interesting. I've got one of those for sale for, give or take, the same money. Interesting, that's all I'll say.
