That light green saloon looks about right. From what little I can see the plate seems to match. Did you take any photos of that car?Bobo W said:

Based on the chassis of a derelict 1959 Bristol 406.

Agreed.... 88-90 Model year XJ-S's should be on 15" Lattice wheels and have red over pewter coachlines - except for the XJR-S and Le-MansThe car pictured, looks like one that was offered to me recently, but i didn't go to view because it wasn't on the right wheels, didn't have the coach-lines and only had half leather (and tweed) seats. Oh and it was a manual transmission car, which i personally think is desirable on a V12 but not on a 3.6
Not saying its a bad car, i didn't put my friend to the trouble of pulling it out of the garage - But the beige tweed, lack of original wheels and coachlines and the manual gearbox meant it wasn't for me. Plus it had been sitting (in storage) for a long time and i tend to find that only causes grief with Jaguars of this period.
Looks like someone bought it though, and hopefully they are having lots of enjoyment from the car.
