Afternoon everyone.

This might be a bit of a long shot, but I was wondering if there is anyone in the Helensburgh area who could go and take a look at a Jaguar XK for me?

As I said back there in June, I was working on a ship and unable to go and view it, and had no joy finding anyone to go for me, so I booked an appointment to have it professionally inspected. Before that inspection though, the seller got an offer he could not refuse, and I missed out.
