Have we had this yet?

https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/9763981?ut...

Jaguar XJ coupe for £150k with cheap aftermarket speakers in the doors, loose leather, random dab tuner slapped in to dash along with some industrial style switches along with a paintjob that is questionable. Would have guessed it would be £15-20k.

ETA..it is sold..whether it sold for that price I have no idea.

Retropower were the builder. LS3 powerplant.

I like their work but that upholstery is shocking.

I bet, robbed and old boy of it.

A 2.2 VTi type S or Motegi in that condition maybe, but even that would be a stretch.

Even a mint freshly imported Motegi with low miles wouldn't fetch £10k on these shores... Great cars, but they never got the love the ATRs, EP3s, DC2s etc

The photos are awful, and it's not even that clean for the mileage. Absolute chancer.

Especially for something that can't be proven. It's like the ads where they state 'never driven hard from cold' or 'never been on a track day'

Who then buys it back off him for £10,000, having forgotten he’d sold it to the dealer a few weeks beforehand, and remembering fondly that he used to own one when he drove past it on the dealers forecourt

but as said...... absolute chancer

I'm sorry; 'ow much spin  laugh


It may be very, very clean. It may be very, very low miles. But it is not E39 M5 money territory



That's priced as if Hexagon are selling it  laugh

It's a great looking thing, but It looks like an 8v with all of 95bhp and a tow bar.

At £2500 it's a pretty good buy. At £10k it's a wife asking her husband to sell the yellow Laguna and him telling her that it just isn't selling.

who cares about teens MPG when buying a car like that? I'll grant you the price is somewhat lumpy but I'd rather have that than an equivalent BMudi

Agree; you don't buy a stonking V8 for the economy

But you also wouldn't consider a Rover 75 V8 for nearly £40k laugh

That was £29k at one point, and clearly didn’t sell then...
