I’ve been polishing up the paint one panel at a time

Around £500 or thereabouts- I’m fairly open minded, I’ll amend the title to reflect the option of swapping for £500 too.

Once at Carlo’s I thanked and said goodbye to Bucketeer as the HMC_jrs were getting restless, Had a quick look at the roffle s60, very nice!

 

Wafted back in the Xantia along some Devon lanes in the autumn sunshine...

Thanks Björn, the xantia looks lovely too!

First thing to do is disconnect the immobilizer pad (when code input and running) to bypass

 

Looks lovely by the way

Bucketeer must have your place as a favourite on his sat nav :-)

I'm a bit sad he won't be piloting it all the way up here, but it'll be nice to see Bramz too.

If you end up looking in the fuse box for whatever reason, there's a gap where I removed the one for the alarm. It had a tendency to go off randomly, and I think it's a TADTS job.

Funnily enough just as the old for sale thread was added to the Ex many shiters Jag x300 has ended up at Björn-HMC MOTORS, just for 24hrs, mind.

Long story short- Bramz7 bought the Saab 900. This deal became a Saab- jag swap for a jag bram7 was yet to collect. Then Robt and I did a deal for the jag I had yet to see for the ex Bramz7 renner19 that’s going to happen tomorrow. If you are thoroughly confused then so am I.

 

The Jag is currently sitting next to my Xantia that both Robt and Bramz7 have owned previously.

I had noticed that there was a champaign Xantia missing from my drive although I never owned one!

More or less in terms of custodian-

 

Bramz7- 1230-7pm 2nd nov

Björn - 7pm 2nd nov- 4th nov

Robt - 4th nov ——

 

But in effect Robt has been/ is currently the new legal owner.

Yeah it's a bit complicated. I agreed to buy and then did myself in with another purchase I'm off to get today so it had to go....

 

Great car though. Can get a touch boring thundering it down motorways but in tiny A and B roads it's a proper hoot to see how much you can give it. For a heavy car it handles quite well!

Posted

I think I've caught up. Much confusion.

 

I would like to buy the jaaag but in a few months time rather than a few days...

In case any of you are inquisitive while driving the little button in the coin pocket by the drivers knee operates the starter to bypass the park switch. I luckily didn't try it to find out while driving down the motorway!

 

Perfect winter beater.

Neighbour is also jagged up.....

 

Top trumps.

Will an xj sport 3.2 out drag an x308 XJR?

 

 

Yes if the xj 3.2 is in fine fettle and the XJR is broken and rusty

I've got to be honest...it was a little sad dropping it off but I genuinely have no need for it. Had an old bloke complimenting it at Reading services.

Same really, but I’ve had a few of these so that itch has been scratched, a Renault of the 80s/90s is something completely different that I’ve not had before. The jag is deffo a credit to the AS collective and an example of how keeping a car on the forum can help safeguard it in a way. It’s old but clearly cherished by all recent keepers.

 

Robt will be a very good home for it and he deserves a good’un after previous 90s jag experiences.....

I'm going to miss not living inside the RobT/Bramz/HMC triangle. You're never short of quality rammel for sale.
