Link?Circa £10k is incredibly cheap for a late convertible.

The one to have was the sapphire coupe on 32k miles at £24k. Came down to £19k and no sale. Has now turned up at CMC for £29k. They probs paid £17k or less.

Hot damn. Spring road-trip across the States to an East Coast port anyone?

I bloody love Bring a Trailer. Why isn't there anything similar in the UK? Market too small, cars too rusty?
A Monte 900 cab is a genuine dream car for me. http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1991-saab-900-tur...

I've been following that car in Greece for ages. I had a long mail exchange with the seller, he sent loads of pictures, and we were in negotiations over collection and so on. In the end, another XJS came up which I bought (and then sold) and we resumed correspondence, but the car is getting more expensive not less, and the seller's attitude recently put me off.

Seller needs to "manage his expectations".

This is exactly it. Well over a year after our initial negotiations I tried to discuss it with the seller and he ended up getting a little arsey. He appeared to think that making the car progessively more expensive and less accessible is the way to a sale; good luck with that!This is obviously a tad over budget but I couldn't think of a better place for it (other here with me, of course) ...

I know. Genius.
A Mk IX with all the rust removed and the 6.0 V12 from an XJS providing the soundtrack.

This will appeal to the contrarians amongst us. I'm not sure it's for me, but it's an unusual and fairly appealing car. Great colour.

Gosh they haven't gotten prettier with time. You'd have felt a right twit if you'd spent (rather a lot of money) on one of those hideous things 3 months before the rather nice full convertible came out. Manual gearbox and the frankly rather nasty early 3.6 AJ6 too. You can keep that one!http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C856393

I'm with you there. Not a looker, and while I appreciate a manual, not in this configuration.
I also happen to think the colour is a bit dull - these jags suit strong colours, or at least British racing green. Not William Morris arts and crafts my-mum leafy compromise green.
Yes I hadn't even seen past the general nastyness to appreciate the full blandness of the colour. It's very murky, maybe "Canal Green"?I also happen to think the colour is a bit dull - these jags suit strong colours, or at least British racing green. Not William Morris arts and crafts my-mum leafy compromise green.
Anyone who penny pinched their way into the cement mixer-esque 3.6 AJ6 with correspondingly industrial long throw manual gearbox spent about 80% of the money and got about 20% of the XJS experience.
ETA - Just read that the seller claims 30mpg. Maybe if you roll it down a hill for thirty miles it only idles through a gallon?
