Agreed! The leaper, along with the US 'federal' headlight conversion, is normally the sign to me to close the ad and discount the car, but that looks otherwise peachy.

There a superb bike car. We've gone on camping holidays with mine with camping gear and a freeride bike all fitting in the boot.In car news, I've gone shedding for a car than I'm actually happy to put bikes on/In.

A lot of car for under £500. Had mine nearly 7 years and done over 100k in it. Never given me a problem does the daily/family thing, carries my bike around, been used as a van for house renovations and it does the trackday thing it's even been to Vmax. The only problem i've had is replacing it. Every time i think about it there's nothing that does everything it does without spending a lot more money both on purchase and upkeep.
If you need any help/advice while you own it feel free to drop me a pm. I would recommend dropping and cleaning the sump. If it's been ran on part synthetic oil the pickup will get clogged up first warning you'll get is the bottom end dying. Quick sump clean fill it with fully synth and then 6k/yearly oil change you won't have an issue. There a very easy car to work on everything is just well thought out and easy to get too.

On my iPhone they look like std euro lights non? Also, the UK spec XJS Le Mans ltd edition had the US lights as std
Those ones are standard; I was referring to the conversions that you see from time to time. Justayellowbadge said:
Lister and Lynx liked to fit the US lamps.
I know I would, but reckon XJS droptops are a good buy at present.
True - some were certainly fitted originally, but as you say they tend to be on the more niche models.I know I would, but reckon XJS droptops are a good buy at present.
I absolutely agree with the comments ref VFM; I really only see them going one way from here, but it may yet be a bit of a wait.

Gravel drive, grass, hedge. The photos do make me want the car quite a bit more. 
Not sure I could take the interior. It reminds of the leftover skin that really obese people get when they've lost loads of weight.
