That would be hilarious!
Nice looking S500 BM.

The somewhat modified 280 has no CO2 value so could be your ULEZ daily smile

New barge bought! See if anyone can spot why I bothered bidding on an early "Urinal of Technology" interior S-Type

Rare manual? Was hoping it was a V8 though.

Maybe some AC components for the Aston Martin? Think the transmission would have to come from an XJS to fit.

Speaking of manual XJS, there's one coming up at ACA. Not a massive fan of taking out the wood interior and doesn't have MOT but seems to be running, in the video you can see them smoking around in it. https://angliacarauctions.co.uk/auctions/2763-20-J...

Yep 3.0 manual.

I'd have taken a punt on a 4.2 auto but the 4.0 had a dreadful Ford sourced auto and isn't worth bothering with. It's just old enough to legitimately take me to the Festival of the Unexceptional and then it'll probably get moved on.

Does look good though, 2 owners, last one for 3 years and a bit then traded in to Tesla after doing 10k a year in it, Michelins and Goodyears fitted, nice MOT history, and looks very clean.

I only really bought it because it's a manual.



Whoever did that to an XJS needs to have a very hard kick in the pods from a very big horse, and be forever condemned to driving the Audi hatchbacks to which they are clearly more suited if they think stick on carbon fibre trim is cool. Revolting.

My Dad had a 3.0 manual facelift. That's a neatly square power and torque output when liberated by a stick and clutch at 240hp/220lb ft.

I’m sure a certain demographic would still instinctively cover the brake pedal and switch lanes if you rolled up on them in lane 3 in this…

Already has an engine light on whilst running as well, lol.

I was thinking along those lines but looked up the details, and it would be ok on age but wthe way I read it, it would also not have to be modified.
no substantial changes have been made to the vehicle - for example, replacing the chassis, body, axles or engine to change the way the vehicle works rofl

Nice colour combo, the amount seems a bit high for something without an mot for a few years.
