Thought I recognised this car when I opened this thread, you were at Clay Pigeon for the BUKC finals right? with the UWE or Bath lot?

I was in the croaky old green e36 coupe with Coventry!

Liking the new jag thumbup
Haha yep looks like I got spotted. IIRC yours was de-badged but single tailpipe / 4-pot?

Will you be at 24 heures du Teeside?

Oh, and to put the rest of you out of your misery, here's the (probably not so) eagerly awaited thread on its replacement, a Jag S-type V8

Single piped debadged 323! was quite an adventure buying it in blackpool and driving it down to Dorset in the same day!

'fraid not, teeside is a good 350 miles from home cry Coventry may have a team though!

Ah ok, I had in my mind that single pipe = 4 cylinder.

I'll be taking the Jag up from Bristol. 500+ mile round trip but should be a relaxing journey in that thing! I'd be surprised if Cov didn't have a team, given their continuing success.

Knowing its seedy history, it probably did leave Munich with a twin pipe!

Most are keen but finances are the issue, even the champions are skint!

Glad to see it go to a good home!
I know Sam personally, he's the one who got me into BMW's to start with and I'm now on my 3rd.

Well, I hope I can live up to the expectation! Here she is, parked up with her new friend, my E46 328i:



Pleasure to deal with James, and I even let him have one last drive - his Jag-shaped replacement was almost on my way back, so I dropped him off there before heading home! Not often you get that as part of a car sale.

Not often you're handed a detached foglamp and told "I hit a cone at Blyton yesterday", either hehe

Anyway, if you're interested about my thoughts on the car and its future exploits, read all about it!

Cheers smile
