Morning all,

How goes it?

Disappointed by the seemingly done deal of the ULEZ expansion to the whole of Greater London, I am on the lookout for a Greta-friendly barge as the LS400 does not meet requirements.
If you have your heart set on an XJ so be it (they're an alluring machine and I've always had a hankering to scratch the Jag itch), but you have other options too.
LS460 complies, but check the E10 checker as at least some cannot use it (mine can't). 385bhp 4.6 V8 so suitably proper.

Also even 2004 Merc V8s comply, and there's a lot of V8 powered Mercs of many power levels and shapes since 2004 so you have a lot of choice.
2008 e320cdi doesn’t comply but I checked a 2007 rev and that did - wtf. I think e280cdi’s are ok.

All bs.

Currently thinking something along the lines of an X350 petrol - who is the resident expert in that department? Would be great to have a chat. Usefully, many of the earlier petrol ones which are ULEZ certified are not marked as such on Autotrader. Hopefully this leads the other punters scrambling for eco friendly motors down the garden path - leaving the gems to my good self.
The X350 is good but you can't fight the 2nd law of thermodynamics and they are really knocking on now. Values are all over the place too, particularly for the ones you actually want (the 4.2 and supercharged).

Seriously consider the XF V8, WorldBoss has picked one up and it is hard to believe that only 5 years separates it from the X350, it is just so much more developed and I think it is a superb take on a modern Jaguar sports saloon; having now experienced both I think I'd have a 4.2 XF over a 4.2 X350.

The 5.0 XFs crop up and are apparently brilliant too, just pay no mind to the idiotic dreamer pricing you see on so many old smoker Jags and wait for a seller who actually wants to see it go.

Good effort man. I will have another LS. That car is same colour as my old LS400 I'm sure.

Well done that man. Seemed an honest ad and the recent photo spread suggests good provenance.

Sub 2k for a D3 A8. EML is showing though but lots of recent work done.

Still, what colours will the LC be?

I'm hoping it will be that deep red/burgundy with tan, but as it's a Monday morning I await disappointment.

The Lexus is a very nice thing.
It's history is quite amusing. First owner rocked up 166k miles within 5 years and serviced it exclusively at lexus. £8,300 as per the lexus report on file up to that mileage.
I had an S class on slightly less miles and the difference is stark!

Eta - I paid £1950

Just tell us that you did not pay the full whack and it came in at lower end of thread budget.

I have a suspicion it'll be green over tan.

Which would, of course, be the correct answer.

Unless of course there was the possibility of an homage to the original and best via a special order Purple & Tango scheme? idea

The red came a very close second to green over tan. Still got 7 months to wait, so I may yet change my mind!

Green over tan sounds more than acceptable!

I know there was much debate, but green is definitely the correct choice.

The sc had to be that metallic bronze/brown colour with tan/biscuit leather for me, but then I am a lonely soul...
