That is expensive, but if it really is rust-free (and I strongly suspect it isn't) it might be as close to a new 124 as you can get.

I thought it was reasonably priced too. I don't know much about them, but I think I've just decided that I want one.

Not any more. This is in it.

Gem or money-pit? Low cost of entry might off-set some pain.

Yum. Great colours.

[CharlesdeGaulle]

I'm with you on that, not a fan of the lattice at all actually. Decent-looking car though.

That looks great. Can't beat velour. Good spot.

That seems extravagant, even by XJS standards.

Glad it's running well now though. We must be due photos aren't we?

Cheap for a G wagon, with sensible plates included.

Big money, but just look at it. Fantastic colours. 79k in 35 years.

This looks great. £7500. Decent history and long MOT.

I would want to know why the nosecone conspicuously doesn't match the colour of the rest of the car.

Mere details old boy, mere details ...

Not hugely original, but looks in really decent condition and could be a very useable classic. 9 Grand. I like.

Not completely original, but this sounds OK.

Nice colour combo too.
A little pricey though, non?
