1500HL with 1850 running gear, 495 quid:

The rear sticker indicates it was originally from a BL dealer called Hisley of High Street, (something). Does anyone have any info on that dealer?

Hidsons of Rainham were a genuine family run business that have been trading since the 1950's but alas the JCB group bought them out in 2018..

They became Hidsons Citroen (and Vauxhall) after dropping Rover and in the late 90's when i used them had a decent parts department with a  trade delivery driver you could set your watch by.

That Merc is lovely, pity it’s a four banger.

 

The original paint on these (Glasurit) is of the highest quality and a good polish would have that looking better than any new car.

And a manual.

I always thought the W124 worked best in lower spec 4 cylinder guise, although the sweet spot was an auto 230e with a/c, the fact that you could buy fully loaded Scorpios, Sterling’s and Senators for the same money meant they weren’t that popular with company car user choosers.

To me, the 6 cylinder models were out of their depth in the marketplace against XJ40s, 7 Series and even W126 S Classes- I remember a 300e-24 and 300SE being delivered on the same day and the 124 cost more! (That was also the first 5 speed auto I ever drove)

I must be alone in that I quite like the long throw rubbery manual change too, as with XMs I never  understood the moaning about 4 pedals , as I pretty much always managed to remember to be in neutral when stopping and applying the parking brake.

Fuck me, I’m talking myself into one of these , just when I’m trying to conserve some money for when Trigger sells his Scorpio( or I have to buy food to survive no work!)

Sorry brain fade-in last post it was a loaded300 TE , funnily enough a manual, that arrived at the same time as G64 PFC and cost more. 
tThe 300-24 was a year or two later and must have cost about the same as an LS400 that other board members had at the time.

ive never noticed the cladding below the rubbing strip on these before.

Also they would seem a very cost effective way into a Mark2 that doesn’t need  @TripleRich levels of welding.

Interestingly,  eBay is definitely quieter than it was. But Gumtree is busier than ever and the shit being advertised is worse than normal.

A truly dreadful money pit, that will cause you sleepless nights and a mental break down, before sucking every last penny out of your bank account then leaving you stranded at every possible opportunity. And a Rolls Royce.

And here’s the 90’s equivalent.

Reckons genuine 60k miles and it’s the ultra rare bASe model ,although Ford called it Executive and someone’s fitted Cassie wheels instead of the fake Minilite look rims it should have.

How many heads, is enough?

Thats nice, weird place for the expansion tank though I don't think I've seen one just plopped on top of the engine before.

Can't agree, the smoothness and torque of the six with the second gear pull-away is what makes the car IMO.

Possibly so.

Great cars though, in any spec apart from gangster.

I was just looking at that, thinking with a kick in the balls Covid Offer and a bit of tidying up , that could be a nice car...

Until I saw the sunroof*, not quite as easy to repair as a bit of rattle can white and some grey cotton to darn the seat. Or for that matter recycling those wheeltrims.

You too can have your very own 6 cylinder Historic Racer, as seen at Goodwood, bids starting at £12, 000 which is probably less than a race built XK lump and who would notice another Jag?

What a way to use up unneeded pension pots or savings for old age.

I saw that seller on another auction recently with his great style of parking cars up badly on a muddy field to create a marketing photo.

Interestingly since he last advertised it he's added the bit about it was subjected to the recent floods. Bet that's really* helped the long term anti rust treatment!
