Nice Jag!

Anyone see this Daimler go through the auction? Can't find the winning bids listed online anywhere ...



One owner, off the road since 1998, SWB, silver with red interior ...

Edit: £5287 ...

It was a good result for that car, I think. I did like it.

[uk66fastback]

Do you mean good result for the buyer? Or was that top dollar for this car? Not sure how much work needed underneath, might have been severely rusted - certainly was if you believe everything the-reverend says about them!

[lukeharding]

I meant that a good price was achieved. Whether it was a good buy remains to be seen, but I would expect to spend quite a lot of money on it to get it on the road

[I-am-the-reverend]

Strong money for a four door project. The buyer would/should have had a good look around it.

But if it's original, hasn't been got at and is clean underneath then there are the makings of a car. I'd rather have that than a shiny turd. You'd clean it up, get the running gear up to scratch and run it for a bit before a body job.

I saw on YouTube someone saying that you cant even buy a XJ1/2/3 that rolls on its on 4 wheels for less then £4k!

A lovely looking car and Silver with a Red Interior is by far the best colour combination.

It’s a classy Looking saloon these are ageing well.

I just saw an etype coupe shell come up for sale on Facebook the ad says he spent £47,000 restoring the body ( hard to believe ) but just goes to show how people get ripped off by these jag specialist restorers ( some of the em have dozens of half finished / never finished jobs stuck in their premises with the owners pulling their hair out or just giving up on the lack of progress - especially the one based in Nottingham).

Here’s a link to the shell

My auction records show that the average price being paid for a 4.2 2+2 is around £35,000 this year. The only use for this project would be to replace a rotten car shell of an existing car.

Ooh I'd have to disagree with you there! So many great colour combinations I'd pick first

I suspect the values of those is only heading in one direction, i.e not up.

[uk66fastback]

Here's one slightly less than that ... probably a decent car for the money.

Forgot that I spotted this on Saturday

The inside is looking somewhat tired and I would be surprised if it passes £50,000 in this market, but then who knows?

[uk66fastback]

It sold for £30,375 last weekend …

The lovely green car here

Times have changed and I've not kept up, I like the mean greenie, but its an old Jag, I want it for £8k max if it really looks ok. I dont want it for £13k even if it was £18k a year ago.

This is the one that failed to sell at both Historics and CCA, with a high bid both times at £7500. I really like it, but at that price, not at the near £13k

I just offered £7k, it didnt get automatically refused.

[uk66fastback]

You could have bought this after the CCA sale at the NEC for £9750!

Presume someone has already then?

But that silver S1 that sold at the NEC that last ran in 1998 went for roughly £5800 - how can this green one be worth only slightly more - I don't understand!
