Hi all

You may remember me, when I posted some pictures of my Jag xjc v12 5.3 Coupe series 2 last year. British racing green etc,etc.

Well I sold the car and I am now in a position to buy another series 2 Coupe, either 4.2 or 5.3.

Daimler coupe also considered. Have viewed a few now and so far they are all very poor. Misled ad's and simply owners who are not being very honest about the car that they are selling.

If any of you know of any stunning cars, restored or original in A1 condition or even concourse if I'm lucky, please contact me ASAP. I am looking to buy privately please and I'm willing to pay good money for the wright car.

I thank you all in advance.

That's the one for mr lock pick then. Ticks all the boxes.

What a cracking car! I assume he will be along shortly to say he's bought it.

'New' Connolly leather interior though? I wonder where they got the leather from? But it looks terrific.

That is lovely. The Series 2 is a beautiful thing in this condition. Being outrageously picky, I'm not keen on the number plates, particularly the rear one, but other than that ...fab! biggrin

Looks like a fairly superficial cosmetic refurbish to me and seats with white piping ! It's about £8/10k too expensive.

I know the colour isn't great but ...

Mr Lock Pick. I remember your car - wasn't it a V12 in BRG and in rather excellent condition ?

Why are you after another one so soon after selling yours ?

An update for you all. I have viewed a few cars including one mentioned on here.

The outcome is that I have purchased a very, very clean original car. XJ6 4.2 C.

The owner had the car for over 20 years. Yes the car will need some attention to a few mechanical issues, the normal stuff. I bought the car from a friend who new the owner.

I will post some pictures when I learn how to do it again. The reason for the new purchase so soon after selling my superb v12 Coupe is simple.

When you have the pleasure of driving one of the most outrageous TVR,S it's nice to relax in a JAG.

Could not agree more. Just got a rather old but mint XJ8 for a day to day car and have for the last week walked past the Cerbera to take the Jag out. Would not be without either but each has its place. Enjoy the XJ!
