OK.

Quote: " It has been subject to very careful re-commissioning to deal with any small areas which may have deteriorated with age, such as suspension bushes."

But on original tyres? Not safe to drive, straight to collection on trailer. Hope i am wrong, but..

Is it just me? I never follow up a POA Ad.
Why not just say what the price is?
And breathe!

I would think they will be asking circa £100k ?

[SimonTheSailor]

Well it can't go in the 'Barge 1-5K' thread as the plate is worth more than that already.....

That is fabulous. If my numbers come up that's what 'll smoke around in.

I’ve cross-linked this to the long running Eventer thread. Odd that the ad says believed to be #9 when another ad says #2 ...

Thought it said number 9 ?

Engine must be a little tired, if the torque figure is to be believed...

I owned a sub 13k mile XJS Celebration run out for no more than one year. Every time I took it out I expected it to blow up on me. The stress did me in the end and I sold it for what i paid for it. I did love it though, especially that cigar ashtray!

Then there is this Jag......rock and a hard place; don't use it and the engine/running gear/brakes pay you back by breaking; take it out and use it? can you trust it?......urghhhh

Whoever buys it better get friendly with David Marks Jags.

Thats a very rare/cool Jag' but having owned a V12 1987 XJS HE in the 90's (we paid £2,000 for it) there is no way I'd be forking out big money for one of these.

The XJS was rubbish, adding a hatch back makes it more cool than a normal XJS, but just not a very good car.
12 mpg,
zero feel from the steering,
wallowey suspension,
most early cars were rust buckets .

A fabulous engine with a lovely smell of leather in the cabin wrapped up in a big rusting hulk of crap (sorry XJS fans but as a previous owner I was shocked how outdated and dynamically flawed it was).

Each to their own and all that ... it’s on my lottery list ... not that the £3.80 I won last week has helped ...

I only get out of bed for a genuine TWR
the rest of them can be someone else's millstone

[craigjm]

Rare beast indeed. There has been one recently going through a restoration at XJ Restorations in Eastbourne alongside my XJC. Apparently a fully restored one can fetch about 80k

Always liked these but long term storage can cause all sorts of age related issues, Of course would not drive it ten feet on the tires.
