More interesting than another polished to buggery XJ-S. For that reason, I'm in. 

 

Seller's opening bid isn't too optimistic based on it being a one-off and the slow rise in value of Jaguar's most confused model. 

For that reason, I probably would.

There seems to be a fair few different (and shite looking) car built on the XJS even though with most of them it's completely obvious what's underneath.

I remember reading somewhere that the entire original XJS body still exists under the Railton panels. It must weigh slightly less than a proton star..... Will try and rummage through Google for the article.

Those were the only two cars made, I remember the maroon one as a friend of mine bought it along with the bodywork jigs plus the rights to build them. Was purchased from William Towns widow. Also I remember the car being accident damaged years ago and we found it was actualy a complete Jag underneath with the Aluminium panels tacked on top.

Lovely car to drive although it felt massive when you sat inside.

I think I might have a bid on this...

 

Same here, although my maximum won't be much beyond 300, depends how pissed I get tonight.

That cav is ace. Is it a 4-dr or 5-dr?

 

Its patently obvious its a 5-dr, if you are not looking at it on a windows phone which only shows you one pic. Fucking phones!!!

As the Cav description says, it's a car of two halves.  35k and clean interior but christ knows what the old giffer has done to get all those dents.  Although ignition barrel is fooked so it may have been stolen previously or something.

This early Allegro looks pretty tasty, at least from this distance.  It even almost gets away with the black number plates.

 Reluctantly selling my lovely 1974 Austin Allegro 1.3 due to 3rd baby on the way

 

Subtext: drive this car and get laid a lot.

I like that Cressida, a LOT, but it's only 1800 notes more than I paid for the manual estate I had in 1986...

'THIS HAS A FEW ISSUES'

 

My first name is NOT

 

'its more semi auto at the moment as you need to paddle shift up the gears( easy to do ) as you drive it and will auto shift down again its self when you slow down' 

 

My middle name is FUCKING

 

'the (check gearbox) and (check injectors) message comes up'

 

My surname is SURPRISED

 

'could be a easy fix?'

 

Said nobody, ever.

 

Verdict: Modus Inoperandi.

Its not gonna have an 18V electrical system though is it? Thats just the graduation on the gauge. Its bound to be 12v.

Definitely worse ways to spend £1500, those wheels really suit it.

Really tempted to bid on that cav - i have a mate who could sort the dents out for next to nothing and I reckon itd be a nice winter blagger.

 

Seller insists on pickup mon-fri 9-5 only though and within 3 days which would be tricky for me.

 

london's only a £40 flight away, but I could only do the weekend, and id probably need 7 days window.

 

Hmmm

 

Who ended up with the similar one that was on here a few months back for £150?

Crumbs, Chief! Look at the number plates on that Cavalier.

 

Big money though.
