All this talk about jags has got me thinking about my old xj40 and how much I miss the old girl so if anyone has got one they are selling preferably near the teesside/Yorkshire area I'd be more than happy to hear about it, p.s. I am a serious buyer and have cash waiting. Condition is more important than mileage, cheers!

I know of a really good one that may still be for sale by a family friend who's giving up driving.

Briefly: Nicley speced 3.2 auto. Westminster Blue with cream interior, 55k from new, FSH.

Body, paint and lacquer all good, no rust, alloys and tyres fine, needs a good clean. Been offroad and stored in his garage for at least a year. I expect MOT and tax have expired now.

I briefly drove it last summer - really nice and tight - only problem I found was a slight weep from 'diff and the C locking did'nt work properly.

No idea if it's still available and how much ££. His son thinks it's worth a fortune rolleyes

Car is in Clacton on Sea, Essex. If distance is not a problem or you want more info PM me by tomorrow night and I'll have another look for you and take some pix if it's still available.

Guessed it might be.. never mind.

idea Perhaps I'll just keep quiet about it. In 20 years time it'll be worth a fortune......

Going to Clacton tonight, I'll see if it's still there - last I heard it was - and find out more.
