Bought a Jag (But it's for a good cause :))
Discussion
Not sure if such posts are allowed, but thought I'd appeal to the charitable side of my fellow Astonistas.
Am off to Milan in October in a car bought for sub-500 quid. With its links to our favourite cars I thought a Jag was a must - bought for the princely sum of 485 quid with 40 quid due back on the tax when we return.
Now it just has to get there.
Jags are often derided a little on here, but it's a lot of car for the money.
Few more photos here. Will be posting more as things progress (outfits, further decor, the trip etc).
If anyone is able to dip into their Cygnet fund it would be much appreciated.

Love it. Did it come with the paint job? Or did you get it done?
I did it - it's actually stick on vinyl. Strips were cut for me by a place off the 'net to my spec length/width, and then the logos and more intricate work was done on a cutter I have at home (effectively an old school plotter with a blade instead of a pen - CraftRobo).The whole car looks better from 6ft+ away than up close...but for the money

Can't see it on the Spanish computer sMurph but got it on the iPhone !!
So....if I donate 51 pounds can I have the word 'Jockman' put on the car?......on the front headlights?.....so that eveytime you switch them on it will remind you of me in a Batman kind of way?
It only has little headlights, but 51 quid will get you your name on it so I see it every day...So....if I donate 51 pounds can I have the word 'Jockman' put on the car?......on the front headlights?.....so that eveytime you switch them on it will remind you of me in a Batman kind of way?

If I donate another tenner can I put a few words after the Jockman sticker?
...and another 51 quid will allow you whatever text you like after the above This could get interesting

Are you driving to Milan (my home city) on it for holidays?
To raise money for charity primarily. Though there will be a number (probably very large) of Peronis drunk there on the Saturday night!Are you driving to Milan (my home city) on it for holidays?
I like Milan. Cool town. Saw AC Milan play Brescia at the San Siro in Baggio's last game. Never seen a football atmosphere like it. Mental.
Do you know anyone who might want to buy a tastefully presented Jaguar XJ6 when we get there? We only have to go one way, and there are additional points if a team can sell its car (as well as, obviously, more cash for charity) on arrival.
perhaps we can have a pool together so we can all write something after the Jockman sticker
