I am at the point I'm debating one, where do they suffer? I presume your XJR handle means you have or have had one!

I have had one for over 10 years. I will have to get the mot history up. Mostly underneath.looks ok on the panels.mechanically good i had no serious issues. Mine is just sitting on the drive rusting away. I wanted to find one with a dead engine and swop mine over. I really do not have the energy for that now.
Jaguar steve is the guru on these.

Looking like I have a new retro motor to collect. Unseen from eBay of course.

Pictures needed.

Collection will be Monday and I'll get some pictures then. I'd post the ones from the advert, but I'm worried someone may try to get me sectioned.

I like the sound of this

It's from a manufacturer that I haven't owned before and I posted another example of the model in the previous generation of this thread. Howmanyleft suggests there are 7 left on UK roads.

That dealer have a few ‘modern’ classics for sale, all of them top prices and more. Some of the paint matches are bad enough to show in the photos on some of them too. Think there might be some wishful thinking in their prices 😂

Spectacular.

This car is somewhat of a local attraction for my family, we play spot the snail when our and about in fleetwood, it also featured a prime spot in this year's Tram Sunday (it's like the festival of speed for cod heads) and I've actually been inside it.

Failed on sills , floor , front and rear subframes.seat belt anchorage points.
There was more. I would still have another.

4k for an old mondeo. wow. also not a classic.

[SimonTheSailor]

Never really liked Citroens but by golly this is cool !!

Looks like it needs a whole set of tyres, exhaust repair, and a repair because of a coolant leak according to MOT. In fact its been on the same set of near bald tyres for the last few years !

I am after a camper car so looking at big estates - not much bigger than this !!

Cheers! I just can't help myself. I was all set to buy a nice Elgrand but it was just feeling far too sensible.

Oh that is magnificent. I have no need whatsoever for such a think, but like that massively.

I think I'd have to drive that in sunglasses all the time...so much light in the cabin!!!

You will be waiting a while to test it in the snow!

It's very French, reminds me of my 309 in many ways, the pedals are very offset and the gear lever smacks the seats in 5th and reverse, but it's very comfy, rides well and goes very nicely.

It should prove useful since I spend a fair amount of time riding bicycles in the mud and rain. May even do some camping in it.

It's great, really good visibility, but I might have to tint the rear so bikes can't be seen easily.

6 other Quadras on the road in the UK according to howmanyleft.

What a cool set of wheels!

That's a wonderous purchase, I've always had a soft spot for them as a wonderfully engineered weirdmobile.
