Quick reality check

[plasticpig]

What would your reaction be if I turned up at the Amber Hotel in this:

[brisel]

We'd think that Michael Winner had turned up

[Prof Beard]

I'd think you had a really nice car, but with horrible red seats...

[Balmoral Green]

You'd have to change your user name.

It's very, very nice, and somehow I can imagine that the red seats look better in the flesh. Shame the dash is a wishy washy grey, needs something to contrast.

So, have you done the deed, or seeking our approval?

[Jon Ison]

My reaction would be.........

[Polarbert]

That numberplate must be worth a few quid.

Its the same car as my dads so I'd say its a good'un. Although I can't understand why it has an XKR bonnet on when its not an XKR, although it could be but why the smaller wheels?


Looks nice! Like the interior.

[Polarbert]

Ah, is that an 'R' badge I spot under the indicator.

SOrry for being so quizical, its just the wheels don't like like the ones that came on an XKR.

[plasticpig]

Not bought it yet. Hoping to go and view it next week. Not convinced that I could live with the interior. I am pretty sure its a custom job as I couldnt find another with a red interior. Its £27k which seems to be franchised dealer money rather than an independent garage.

Stratstone Jaguar in Derby have this one which I prefer:



I would have to do some really slick negotiating to get it within my budget though. Its 32k and my budget is 30k tops. I guess it depends what it stands them in their books.

[Prof Beard]

That is lovely...

[Balmoral Green]

I think I saw the one at Derby Jaguar today as I drove past. It was outside the showroom and was just like the one in the picture, but it had bright red calipers. That's the one, it was stonking!

[Polarbert]

The black one looks a lot better. Is the first one a proper XKR then? Or an 8 with some R bits?

[V8LM]

Do you know if the plate (1 PMW) is for sale? (I see it's now on a S-type since June. I would love you get in touch with the owner).

It must be worth between 5-10k easy.

You could always contact the seller VL8M and find out if they are wiling to give you the contact details.

[AJWB]

Looks good

Are you sure the plate doesn't belong to the dealer? Just looking at the dealers name and the plate and put 2 and 2 together...

these cars are pretty cheap now..15k or so..i went in one two years ago, i think they look much much better than the new one
