My f-ugly daily commuter laugh Will be sporting a PH sticker as soon as I buy one!

It's my first venture in to near shed ownership. It's a 116,000 miler derv. It can go into Lidl & to the tip without too much stress on my part!

unfortunately not, just the half pint!!

always wanted one and this came up reasonably priced in Glasgow, on a hunch from a post in the Classic section of PH. I took a chance on it and apart from a rotten floor and inner/outer cills it was pretty straight and running after 10 years of slumber. all structural works are now done and its had a mechanical overhaul to get it through an MoT. next job is the headlining and that will have the interior sorted, then its a usable improver to work on over the years.

That's not bad for a 70's BL product, I look forward to seeing it at a meet sometime soon, always had a proper love for the coupé '6!

Hey Darren, see the Jag collection is still growing lol To be fair I bet there isn't much in the power, the V8 is a lazy lump and feels hard work compared the MX5 lump. It's a 3.6 with high compression pistons, vitesse heads and fast road cam. Edelbrook carbs and an SD1 gearbox(horrible thing). There's loads of work to do on it, the last owner tried to make it into a Ferrari :s

I sold T21NTO to the garage in Southsea near my flat, I think it's been scrapped since. Bought a 07 Audi A8L 4.2TDI, not a patch on the Jags performance but a lot more modern for the daily drive smile

Picked it up a couple of weeks ago. Love it. Now I have a nice car during the week as well as a weekend toy.
P.S Noble is almost ready to come out for show with its new make over.





Love the red stitching and belts.
