Link not working but I think that is a Firenza (though some coupe bodyshells were used up as a Viva E later on). Designed by Wayne Cherry in his time at Vauxhall - the body shape went on to produce the famous 'droop snoop' models as well.

640,000 HC made overall and I think the last car to be completely designed by the company with no input from GM Europe.

Looks fun.

Apologies, duly corrected.

A lot of these big Jag's coming up for sale. I'd hazard the market for this type of stuff is pretty limited and shrinking.

They are nice cars, but I imagine the fuel bills must be a bit eye-watering!

Back in the 70s a mate of mine kept buying these and every time a German guy down the road would offer him a price he could not refuse so he went and bought another one. The German guy could sell in Germany as many as Adrian could find.

The sports are different- I've owned or driven most of the big saloons - just ponderous, built down to a price and pretty needy. They were of the gin and tonic era now gone - very few of any of the generations of Jaguar saloons survive. Worth a drive if you want one but the MK10 420G really is over-inflated.

One of the many failures of the Post-War British motor industry was in  product planning - MK10 was made for the US market who did not want it. Sales were dismal.

If you've money to spend try this pussycat needing a nice warm basket and a saucer of milk - at the same money.

1956 Morris Minor 1000

Anorak moment.

It's not a Morris Minor 1000 - it's a Morris Minor Series II that's had a post-1962 1098cc engine put in.  In the previous iteration of 803cc the Series II  were pretty slow - lots will have been uprated in the intervening 70 years.

May say 56961 miles but unlikely given the engine change - parked in a shady spot long-term probably needs a careful look underneath 😉 

Does have a very charming dealer plate, which I can't quite make out.

@lesapandre all the same things went through my head re the Moggy before I saw your post, but it's local to me so I've messaged the seller and I'll try to get a look. I'm not bothered about originality with something like that (well, not unless I'm negotiating a price anyway).

Looks interesting certainly. Many Minors will have been uprated over the years as parts dried up or to make improvements. Main thing is how good it is underneath.

If you need warranty work alas Naylor and Root have closed...

Something weird with that registration. First registered in 1970 and it's not showing on the main checker I use. Isn't XWC an age-related plate? I guess the original was taken off, or it dropped off DooVLA in the 80s or something.

Provenance is everything as they say. Would need it's antecedents carefully checking...

I usually adore a Viva coupe, even better if its a Firenza, but thats lost something in translation (to my eye)

Was better when it had plainer paint work.
