Can you stretch your budget to £2k for this low mileage XK8 in Glasgow?

Short MOT would put me off, plus the price isnt really shed motoring.

Well, how did you get on?

[pd2]

GS was immaculate inside but boy was it rotton the outside, roof rusting and bad marks all round.

Also went and seen a 02 v6 mondeo, again, not good.

The S70 was ok body, not the best but no rust!!
Engine was very strong and very clean, so.....

I now own a 5 cylinder turbo.

Excellent!

Pics??

The previous owner had fitted a 4" jap style back box and a boost gauge, will get pics of them later.
Will probably relocate the boost gauge and possibly put a more suitable back box on. But to be honest, the jap box is absolutely silent. Quite good history with it so all in all I'm happy, enoughy to keep me busy with.
