The Best ///M/Barge/General Rant/Look at this/O/T (Vol XVII)
Discussion
Re 3 Eleven - I'm not convinced on the looks (much the same with X Bow tbh) but no doubting the fact it will be an amazing thing to drive.
I'd still take a 620R though.
Re Singer Targa - I saw that at Goodwood yesterday. Beautifully put together as always but I do feel they all look overwheeled/overtyred.

I absolutely love it. Shame about the price tag (£82k, or £115k if you want the proper gearbox) - but i reckon you could have quite a bit of fun on a trackway with it!
It seems quite reasonably priced to me. It's a chunk more than the 620R but gains a proper attempt at aero, and is $90k less than the Atom 500, albeit with far less power-to-weight. Beyond these two, there seems little to touch it for the price?

Here we have my Facelift 1996 Jaguar XJS Celebration Coupe Auto 4.0 Straight 6 SUPERCHARGED (I call it the XJS-R6)
One of the last xjs's made (number 136th last built) in carnival metallic red with oatmeal leather and biscuit carpet.
This very rare and difficult conversion which was profesionally carried out, uses the engine taken from a Jaguar XJR6 which has the 4.0 AJ16 Supercharged straight 6, mated to a 4 speed automatic gearbox.
It benefited from alot of upgrades over recent years including the following:
There is a new gearbox filter to go with the car.
It also has a certificate showing that it has had a professional waxoil and stonechip treatment from Before and After services a few years ago.
There isnt a trace of rust on the car, the paint work is fantastic.
The interior is very clean, the seats front and rear are in fantastic condition as is the wood. The electric seats work fine.
The central locking/alarm and immobiliser all works fine, as does the alarm fob.
The car is fantastic to drive, very very quick and sounds fantastic!
A very rare car that Jaguar should of made, and a now fast appreciating Jaguar model!
Viewing recomended.
Happy Bidding.

Another 612 manual - http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/f...
Lowish mileage but not the greatest colour and slightly sketchy service history. Yours for £99,950 apparently....

My more mundane reality is I'll be putting the kids into the Ford people carrier and cruising down to Legoland or Peppa Pig World...
