MorrisItalSLX Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Every time I look at my XK6 equipped Jag I think about binning it, but that is probably due to my ease of access to a Ford Barra Turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still £60k on a reliable daily car that’s done 700miles since seems a little weird. Sounds like one of those things that seemed a good idea at the time, but not once the conversion work was completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braddon81 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 14 hours ago, MarvinsMom said: on a more serious note, what are coventry climax/hillman imp engines like for spares? since rootes/hillmans are bad for spare parts i'm guessing that there isn't much about for an imp, much less for a bond? Imps are pretty well supported engine parts wise, their continued Motorsport pedigree helps greatly in that regard. Mechanically these feature the complete Imp running gear and trailing arm set up. The front Suspension set up is quite interesting as it tilts - leaning the car in to corners to aid stability - theoretically! Its the bushings for this front end set up which wear and perish and are made of unobtainium. LightBulbFun, MarvinsMom and NigeT 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to see what sort of money they are asking - it's a rare model, essentially a 5 door XS, so 205 enthusiasts (i.e. GTi owners) might be all over it. The mileage will surely put people off though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartacus Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I've just bought a 'survivor', if I hadn't I'd be trying hard to buy this. Inexplicably, (although possibly not on this forum), the mileage is just an added bonus to me. I could buy it safe* in the knowledge I'm owning and driving a vehicle of historic* significance*... And yes, it's a GT. I have to stop now, otherwise I may do something foolish. BorniteIdentity and Skizzer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartacus Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I'm 140 miles away but if I can help anybody on here in the process of buying it then I will. It deserves to be saved. I have no idea on value though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
