Also- please keep up at the back- ive sold everything except DOY, above.

And something is arriving tonight.  Wierdly going from a focus 1.6 to tomights arrival gave me a refund of £1.39. 

I suspect no one manages to keep up with your fleet changes

 

[HMC]

So Muhammad from swansea delivered in more than one sense…..

Old Bill Lyons used to rate assessing the lines of a new jag, in black, and so do i. I have always wanted a black jag, and also one of the v8 x308s.

Its in black, with ivory leather. Pornographer spec. Its in decent condition and drives well, although a few bushes up front are a little tired as although its slop free, its a bit clunky over pot holes. Generally a nice, slightly sinister looking thing. Its a 3.2 as I didnt particularly fancy taking a chance on a bargain bucket ropey xjr for my money.

They are coming in hot, an X300/308 XJR is a bucket list car for me. This one looks good at a first glance. Make sure to offer either of these on here before you let them go, just in case...

[grogee]

Ah yes, the perfect fleet. An S-class for those wafty cruises and an XJV8 for... slightly different wafty cruises. Best of all, west Devon is known* for its billiard-table flat roads, so you should easily get about 10mpg from both. 

I'm glad the S-class has proper tyres on now, the old ones were making my teeth itch.

There is nothing not to like about the Jag. I look forward to buying it, or at least ferrying it up the M5.

FTFY

I ran one of these in the exact same spec. Probably one of the nicest all-round cars I’ve owned.

Does yours have the hidden button for folding mirrors?

[wesacosa]

Very nice. I looked at buying one of the straight six ones with the more square dash years ago as I need an auto as I had broken my shoulder. I didn't go for it in the end , partly because the test drive was a bit awkward as I suffered full on catastrophic structural failure of the main seam of my jeans which split from cock to arse as I entered the vehicle

That's ace.

How are you finding rear seat legroom. Really liked the look of car but ended up with an E38 instead as was to tight in the back. 

Probably just me having front seat in a weird position.

Its definitely snug in the back, i tend to like to be sat with my legs quite bent so for my height the seat is fairly far forward. even so its not generous back there.

Home made beam benders in place for tonight….

That's what happens when you get in a Jag lol

[Cento16v]

Wow that's a late one, must have been one of the end of production cars?

Lovely cars.

Yes i think this was at the very end of production. It “feels” like an old jag, and though the x300 and the xj40 its got a bit of a connection to the old days. 

Ive got my passenger lined up with snacks, a foot warmer and the motherland’s (and her) favoured tipple. I hope this doesnt cause navigation issues in france 😂

There’s a round button that adjusts the position of each door mirror. From memory, you can pull this button backwards. If folding mirrors are fitted, then they will close.

It’s unmarked on the button, so owners don’t always realise they have them.

le queue

[Tepper]

You are well and truly on top form, both the quality* and rate of purchases are unrivalled. Chodspeed good sir.

[HMC]

[gadgetgricey]

So you are returning from France with Crabs.

Lobsters look good as well.

Car performing as expected and not got too lost,

[HMC]

Took a minor road along the coast and the estuary

On the short cruise to Morlaix…

If it wasn’t for the lack of an Aldi in the background, I’d have sworn that was Todmorden bus station from the town hall roof!!

You must feel right at home next to those arches. Although Tavi's aren't illuminated quite so extravagantly 

[loserone]

I thought it was Morlaix.  There's a cracking second hand kids clothes shop there, or was the last time I was there.  Hoping to pop in in a few weeks time
