I can see it now lowered on bags and Tru-Spokes...

That must be American car enthusiasts jargon 'cos I haven't a clue what you're on about

[STO]

Is it right hand drive? Must have been rare when new let alone now. On a SORN and last moted in 2008, so not that long ago, must be worth saving surely.

Yes, its RHD. By the excellent condition, maybe South African. I doubt if it would be so good if it were a UK car from new. Very easy cars to work on, its only the size that is the hassle unless you have the space.

First UK reg'd in Jan '66 - always likely with that plate.

Lovely thing....

Spotted this morning, just been taken to Albert Looms breakers yard, all recovered from the same garden 3 in total.

This looks rough.

[DickyC]

IIRC with those wheels it's the V12.

Put me straight, iva.

It looks too sad for words

[Storer]

It is worth remembering that the fact that many of these older cars end up as washing machines is the reason those that are left are economically viable to restore!

Don't know,need a Jag beard to answer that.

My only view was from a traffic jam in SE1.

The bottom corner of the door seems to fit rather badly,actually looked like it wasn't shut fully.

[RoverP6B]

That XJC and the tatty SD1 look restorable...

I can't see a leaper on the bonnet which could make it a Daimler. Then it'd be a Double Six if it's a V12.

This E type resting in a garage in Norfolk probably past saving by now.

[RoverP6B]

If it's got a V5, it's saveable. Just send it to Eagle, they'll make a replica of its VIN plate then throw the rest away...

Not to mention the garage.

The way prices are going it will surely be worth saving soon!
