Sorry if posted already....

Not bothered to do a History check on it, but MOT runs out in July.

WCPGW? 

 

Or this is where I'd put my money personally...

That is pretty hanging but also pretty cool. I might waz a bid on that if it doesn't go too mental. Just to ride around in for a month or so, obvs.

Okay the insurance is mental for this so I am out...

That is tidy.

 

Half the price of a Peugeot 405 diesel as well.

I had one of those in 1990, bought two days after selling an XJ-S. A dark metallic green one, Y reg and the 4.7 Auto (928S). Bought it from Witney Car Auction - it was only 7-8 years old but they were pretty much unwanted. I think it was 4 or 5 grand, lovely thing and built like a tank. It went like stink as well. Criminal how few there are left now.  :-(

This VP made £3000 at Classic Auction 21st March

£3000 mark up. Wonder if it will go for that? If doing for a business by the time you factor in the costs - £3000 capital tied up, cost of transporting and insurance, your own time per hour at auction and after, any fettling*, storage, advertising costs, your time entertaining* every potential customer* and any taxes, any discount negotiated and the fact that it may sit about for months how much mark-up there really is?

£3,495!

 

'The Australian and New Zealand version of the model range was known as the Holden Frontera and these were also produced at the Luton facility.' 

 

 

​Well, literally thank FUCK for that. And on the basis of that incredible information, I now believe £3,495 isn't a hopelessly fucking stupid price, that the car is in fact worth a minimum of five times that and it's actually more sought after than Lord bastarding Lucan.

'BUT I KNOW THE NUMBERS THAT WERE PRODUCED SO HOW MANY ORIGINAL PARTS AVAILABLE MUST BE SLIM FOR THE COUPE XJC'

 

Of which you appear to have none of.

Are the autoboxes in those E39s good?

 

yeah they're okay. As long as they have the correct oil level and the car battery is the right one and full of beans, they're okay. They can go wrong but what doesn't?

This 540i SE looks nice for the money.  Sports seats and sensible mileage too.

The only two things wrong with that are that it has too many doors and someone’s parked a BMW in the way, spoiling the view.

Fair play to that ‘ped vendor, that’s how to advertise on eBay.
