I think this looks like fair value if it checks out: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2016...

The 500 (cheapest 500 on auto trader!), reasonable miles and it looks great.

Is it not concerning that the roll bar is deployed?

You can manually deploy it and many do for safety. Many sellers seem to think it looks better for some reason.

Not mine but see that a fellow MB club member has dropped the price on this from 8995 to 5995. The "work completed" list will make your head spin!

That XJC looks lovely, but the hidden rot all over the one in the owners threads has rather put me off these!

I wonder what 6 litre engine it is, a modified 5.3, XJRS 6.0, or the run out factory 6.0. If it's the later factory engine it will also have a 4 speed gearbox.

Yes. But, but, but leaper. AWOOGA.


It says XJ6 but has a V12.

Registered as red but is orange/brown.


This ad makes me twitch.

I like the car, just not the advert.

Looks like an old Pug 405 got attacked by an O-Level fibre glass class.
