my rescue cat

[hoppo4.2]

some of you may remember a few months a go i bought an old jag that had been sat on a local ladies drive for at lease 5 years. there were holes in the roof and seats and other places.
but i couldnt let it suffer any longer.

its taken a while and many pennies but it is now back to how it should be just intime for the sun.

hears a few pics and a link to an album of some more.









some more hear http://s427.photobucket.com/albums/pp353/hoppo25/x...

now that my work is done (few nigles still to fix but im on it) ill be looking for a new cairing home for the big cat soon.

Looks great. how come it was dumped in the first instance...?

[hoppo4.2]

cant really figure that out my self. it was her husbands car then they had kids etc and it just got left there. then a roof slate fell through the roof and it was all down hill from there.

[Roop]

Shame. Still, it looks bob-on now

Very jealous: I owned an identical one until 1999. Best car I've ever driven (including my current XKR convertible!). I just love the engine.

I wonder what you will be selling it for.... (No, best not to tell me).

It isn't even run in yet!

im not to sure its no concorse show stopper but its a very good example brand new hood/ headlining and hydrolics. full history all its old mots etc

what would you guys say its worth?

i no what it has cost me (dont ask ) should be able to cover it and if i make a few pennies as well as saving the old girl im happy. want her to go to some one who will look after her this time round though. some people should be

Well, I think this chap may be pushing his luck as I've seen decent examples at half the price:

Or you could always hire it out for £200 a day:
