Now for that money, or less I might be interested and change my XJR. They are not as fast as the XJR, I have driven one with the 4.2 unit, but it's still a cool cruiser. I wonder if he will haggle?? I wonder why the need for the smelly tree??

Because if it sounds too good to be true.....it inevitably is !

Sorry, I am a cynic but 'our' cars need a significant degree of care. This shouts out a lack of the above ?

May be just the reflection, but it seems to look a darker colour forward of the B pillar in a couple of the pics? Need that inspection....

I agree about the colour, I noticed the slight differences and put it down to the light, but an inspection would be essential.

I asked questions about the car starting simple like "why did the last winner back out" got the reply almost immediatly "dunno he just didnt return my calls" asked what the known history was and when the clutch was replaced. no answer after 5 days!!! be warned its worth a punt at very cheap ££ but i have an incling feeling that whoever did the work may have said something like"get shot of it fast mate" and silence to a prospective buyer is not a good sign.
I was interested but decided against it for all the above reasons.

He does say it has no history but has tracked down 'most'........It looks lovely on the pictures........The only way to decide would be to go and see the car and check out what history he has......

Most cars look great in photos if the light is good, in fact look at your car in shades and it will look even better...must be the tint...as they say there is no such thing as a good cheap car.

Yes, because i asked him what history he had tracked down and also when the clutch was done and thats where i got ignored.

So somebody hit the reserve of £14K and won the car, again. I wonder if we will see it back on again shortly, would not surprise me??

The drivers seat looks exceptionally dirty and worn, knackered in other words!
