That XJ-S is properly vile. 
No idea what Lister they think it looks like. Perhaps the Lister in a bottle of Listerine. ?

Nice car, good ad. Handy that he's re-colonized (sic) the seats too!Pity it's black as it looks rather funereal, and I'd have to get Mr Highly-Regarded-Bodyshop to remove the stupid leaper and fix the resultant stupid hole in the bonnet, but that otherwise looks a cracker. That engine is beyond brilliant.

Bloody hell that's nice. I had a SWB XJ12 that I adored. The X300 was the best home that V12 ever had, with a modern ignition system, and the benefit of a vaguely modern electronic 4 speed auto and an LSD. They're actually quicker than the 312bhp would suggest too as the torque output is so high throughout the rev range. The LWB doesn't look as good though, and it makes an already long car an even bigger PITA to park around town!CharlesdeGaulle said:

Other than that, it is a splendid thing indeed.
Lancia Dedra Integrale 2.0 Turbo - £2,700
From Wikipedia:
In 1991 was launched the Dedra Integrale. It used the same engine and transmission that the Delta Integrale 8v. The Delta Integrale 8v engine is one of the world's most competition proven power units, a 2-litre 4-cylinder fuel injected twin cam engine, fitted with contra-rotating balancing shafts, and a Garrett T3 turbocharger and associated inter-cooler to aid volumetric efficiency that boost power output to 171 PS (127 kW) in catalyzed version. The Dedra Integrale also uses the same permanent 4-wheel drive of the Delta Integrale, and includes the new Visco Drive 2000 traction control system. Also includes the electronically controlled suspension available as option in the 2.0 and upper versions.
When the Dedra was launched, it was a good time for Lancia: The Thema had been facelifted a year earlier, and despite being on the market for five years was selling well, the Delta (1979), thanks its continued success in competition was living a second youth, and the Y10 had a slight restyling and good sales. However, the Dedra was not a strong success outside Italy. A major facelift in 1993 did little to boost the car's sales success and the whole Lancia range including the Dedra was withdrawn from RHD markets a year later. The car, after 1993 also sold as a station wagon, remained popular on the Italian market until it was replaced by the all-new Lybra at the end of the 90s.
A total of 418,084 Dedras were manufactured during its commercial life.
Out of budget, but Lovely, Interesting etc etc nonetheless.

Citroen SM in budget. Well the bits that have not rusted away. I bet these can generate an almighty restoration bill!
