Might start if you connect the battery. What a pity it has been left in the street to deteriorate, front wing to sill rot looks like it could be expensive or terminal and poverty spec seats will hold it back value wise. Current price makes it ideal for breaking.

I quite liked it as I would like a fairly straightforward XJ project, but I fear you're right. It all looked promising for a moment...

Fuck me, a running diesel R3 for 150 quid!!!  Why are all these bargains always on the other pissing side of the world from me?

If it's still there I can probably get it back here for you.

Dutton eagle s2 | eBay

Just to try and help sell it, the vendor has included a photograph which appears to show someone in the background who has a yard brush for a knob

What's the steering wheel from, I wonder? Can't quite make out the blacked out logo...

Says Dutton on them - the later ones are Jimny based (wee picture is a Jimny wheel) - not sure what Dutton's little knob is about or if it comes from a different era Jimny but I'm guessing he's got a load of made up center bits that he swaps out for the Jimny ones

They still are

It's hard to find the right AS-approved Standard 8/10 spec. They are typically either basket cases, pineappled (cos rally car), or over-restored. Original condition runners and drivers and kind of rare.

I guess this is about right, but £4k for a bootless wonder

Nice but nowhere near nice enough for the seller’s expectations on price.

I'd love at least one photo of the engine bay, why do so few sellers indulge my whim?

That makes you at least ten years younger than me?

Depends on when you was born. I am younger than what I look.

MOT'd but barely driven in the last few years.

This must be one of the last ones made before the XJ40 turned up.

One owner which is unusual.

It is a pity it is not older by 2-3 years as at the moment it is neither ULEZ compliant - (it is in the zone) nor MoT and Tax exempt. Worth squirreling away until until it is.
