New car's a bit different to the Works GP!

I am enjoying the Jaguar greatly.
It's a 2003, XKR 4.2 Coupe, green, with most options, save for Sat Nav. (Which i absolutely detest and refuse to use anyway, so the car is pretty much ideal spec for me.)
It is a one owner, 29,800 miles car, with the 20" wheels and giant tyres that go with them.
I won't say it is mint, because there are one or two cosmetic odds and ends i will sort, but i reckon it's a steal at £22,750. (Original bill of sale for £63,500.)
Looking forward to getting a decent Milltek exhaust so that it sounds more like a free-breathing V8!

So that's two of those we have in the region now, have you seen plasticpigs?

Yes, Warren, i saw it at Shardlow last time around. A convertible 4.0 if i remember rightly.
I chose the 4.2 instead, as the extra power and torque is useful, but also the 6-speed gearbox is a lot better than the old 5-speeder the 4.0 model has.

Looked good in the picture message you sent me yesterday mate.

That price is absolutely crazy. How come they were selling so cheap? My dad got more than that on trade in for his standard 4.2 convertible. Although I guess it was a convertible and slightly newer with less miles, but still. The 'R' cost a whole lot more chunk of wedge than the standard one!

Congratulations. Seems a decent price. You mentioned you were looking for one at Shardlow. For exhausts talk to Racing Green. I have now seen two of their systems and they look very good.

Will do, thanks.

I managed to knock the fella down from £27K, to £22,750, after he had been messed about twice and badly needed to sell it.
