Only problem is, it needs dragging back from France https://www.lotsearch.net/lot/1993-jaguar-xj40-rhd-no-reserve-49718034 Loads of other tat in the sale too. Anybody brave enough to take on a 1968 Berliet PCM-RE double deck bus? 'Kinell, some of those estimates are ridiculously low. In fact if I thought that any of them were actually going to be accurate I'd be booking a ferry ticket now. mk2_craig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 This is seriously tempting. It's a high-spec JTD with cruise and climate (like the one I had which went to Bramz then Bo11ox and I believe is still in the fold somewhere), but it's an estate so with added junk-carrying ability. Seems like an honest seller too. Only thing putting me off is the distance. That and the fact that it may need rear bushes, which I remember Bo11ox saying were a twat of a job.

Especially the steering wheel which looks vile with all the yellow rubbed off. Mine was just as clean inside after nineteen years' use as the day I bought it.

Personally I don't think a manual conversion would suit the car - they're a lazy cruiser, not a sports car. They go OK and grip fairly well but they're far too heavy and wide to have any real sporting pretentions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
