took a minute to figure out if the link would work... the aim was efficiency.
I suppose the drifters could take a leaf out of my book. stop fooking 300's up!

Lets hope this one doesnt get nicked.. Idealyy i;d want a manual, but it wouldnt really be a jag with manual.. best with auto in jags I think anyway.
At least I can park outside the town hall without getting ticketed

Oh and anyone who's interested theres a LOAD of 7 series volvos down south.. none of them are bad, not one is a no goer.. one needs a clutch release job for about a ton with MOT. needs lacquer on bonnet but thats about it, bargain for someone.

works for me... maybe because the seale is over...
Attach the pics instead me will do so work it will.
having some right trouble with photobuckit.
Ahhh... cut,paste, repeat- a lot.
I do think theres a possibility his camera is just "shit"... not taken them blurry on purpose, that engine bay keeps looks sound to me... might try to enhance that pic a bit..
Impulse buy.. Could be nakkerd, could be a straight motor.. it;s an xj40, sovereign, 3.6 auto, 1989, stated to have NO body damage or scratches, repeatedly stated, I think it went for less than it's money -
If he doesnt cough up the goods for £460 or whatever it was, can I sue him

... I'm worried he let it go for too little and is getting cold feet....... no reply to messages yet, will phone him... fingers crossed.

Looks great for a sub 500 quid car man. Good catch.
Fingers crossed it's healthy and he parts with it.

that looks like a very good purchase at that price, some wheels, a hit with the stick and tints for extra mafia points and youre onto a winner

Hmmm... I dont want to modify, not really, but I might.
Maybe lightly restore and get another mot on it... keep hold till it fetches more money - even store it if its good enough.
Its VERY well equipped, it's got everything from A/C to electric seats.. nice slice of capitalism before it [capitalism] dies

Ha, I;ve heard as little as 18MPG

, But I have seen as high as 33MPG... just how you drive it, theyre known for giving some pretty good economy on a long run if properly maintained and the right tyres.. TBH I don't care about economy in this, worth the extra for the comfort alone
Looks like I'l end up paying £500-£550, he was a bit "disappointed" with the price, and has no legal obligation to sell (I checked it out) - so offered an extra ton and whooptidoo, pick it up on friday
