Bodywork, never is cheap unless of course you can DIY, ime.

You just need to find the right man. I've got a mechanic man and a bodywork man who both work for days on end for the price of a reasonable night out.

With gaffa tape, chicken wire, filler and an electric sander anything can be overcome.

The E34 is a fine looking car, isn't it? Such a simple design yet it still looks down its nose at everyone else.

Ditto the E32, but a 34 just rolled by.

Is it just me or does a Jag X300 (or 308) in Sport trim and finished in black with cream cow interior just look so "right". I'm on the hunt and have looked at lots of colours but keep coming back to this combination...
Black is one of my least favourite colours on any Jag.

I drink with a chap who owns a couple of body shops. He doesn't do restoration work as such but for modern stuff that needs new bits stick on and paint I can get jobs done at pretty close to cost. It's saved me quite a lot of money and NCB.

Sure it's expensive but it is a main dealer. It's cheap when compared to hexagon!

True but it's not even particularly low mileage, I know auc cars are going to go for a premium, but even so I would've thought that car would be priced at about £11k max.

Agreed. It's still got magnificent road presence.

I adored my E32.

The fact it made me look a bit like an Eastern-European gangster added to the fun as i exited every junction on the lockstops...

Avoid the V8's.

A 735iSE with the big M30 is the weapon.

Makes a belting noise too when you put the right hoof to the bulkhead...
