Look at this peach. 40 k miles one owner form new!

 

416 Owned by his late father.

 

My father in law died 14 months ago, and there is a tidy (but not this tidy) 1991 216 in his garage. Mother-in-Law Egg wants to leave there to rot rather than sell it on cos of the memories - understand, but  :-(

SRi 130 or Astra GET 16V wheels on that, I think. Pretty sure the Mk2 Astra SRi would have had those sort of 'bloated' wheel trims.

I've been saying I don't like e34's but this one is a tempter! No advisories on the new MOT. At least its not the 518!

 

Would this be single or double overhead cam?

I recon that's the SOHC one carried over from the e28. I think they're only about 125 bhp, which isn't much for one of these big tanks.

(Now dropped to £1250, by the way, which probably hasn't improved the Paranoid Android expression.)

 

 

Edit:  LOL at 

 

 

Yeah, I can see it's effin RAMMED in that semi-derelict concrete yard of yours.

That is a terminally depressed expression.

I had an e28 520i and it was slow to accelerate but had plenty torque. I used to bomb along at 100 on my private test track and it was  quiet as anything and made a great noise. My temp gauge didn't work and I drove it from East Kilbride to Selkirk in the borders with little or no water in it and once I topped it up and fixed the water pump gasket it was fine.

i just gotta shear a pic of the n/s wing of the xkr....

 

Thing is, if the wing's like that, the (e-type) front floorpans are going to be non-existant.  That's the self-destructing 4.0 with chocolate timing gear, too.  What a festival of fun to be had.

I though all the early Jaguar XK's were gone once I saw one in the local Scrappy last year. Looks like I forgot about the early XKR's. 

Shame, the prices of them say I should buy,yet I know just how bad they can be...

2500 grand for this XKR but the body is bursting out more than me after spending 2 weeks shoehorning mince pies and beer down my hole for the last 2 weeks. I recon there's a dormant weldfest ready to erupt here.

I honestly can't remember the last time I saw an XK. I'd forgotten they'd even made them until now.

This isn't far from me, its a 2.2 and been off the road for 2 years but looks nice and supposedly has a great engine. He's had a single bid from a zero-rater of £200. I am thinking of making him an offer, my experience of these is theyre really well made and a great steer, i've only ever driven a 1.6 16v or a 2.0 DTi, I imagine a 2.2 must be pretty swift. Any views?

 

I bet they go like stink. My 1.6 16V feels fast enough for a 1.6 so with the extra power? Is it the same engine as the VX220 ?

Mot'd DAF.

I had a bid on that when it went through ebay about 3 months ago. Made about £550 IIRC.

 

If it's such an easy project then why hasn't he sorted it?

One owner Astra Sri with a chav tastic interior. Correct me if I'm wrong but should this have trims and they are Cav Sri 130 alloys?

 

$_57.JPG

 

 

Astra GTE 16V also had them. So in the family. The only alloy wheel that was designed to look like a wheel trim.

 

The early versions of this wheel have more metal which means a mk3 cav GSi front brake caliper (and disc) won't fit, whilst the later ones have less metal and will.

That I know this is because hours of head scratching following fitment of said brakes to a mk2 cav 1.8 sri and 4 alloys from 3 internet auctions. It's all in the date code.

'Like' because 1. Good point, 2. I like your username and 3. We can never have too much DAF content.
