£5600?
That rather feels like it might be a bit of a win for someone

It does sound very cheap if you can fix it yourself but I've been there with non runners bought cheap, I bought an XK8 with a goosed gearbox for 4k when they were 7-8k, body and interior were mint but a car you can't drive can have hidden problems that don't show up until you get to temperature or speed
turned out the engine was on it's last legs , Steve advised it needed a new one as it wasn't going to last long , but me being me I spent days on various websites until I found a guy in Newbury with a gearbox, rang him and he had an engine but it was out of a XJ8 not an Xk8 so only the block and heads were the same, everything else had to be swapped including the cams which needed special tools to set them up , cost £200
I got the engine and box for £700 because the guy was fed up with tripping over it , he'd sold a mint XJ8 to a german 3 years previously, german decided to take it to germany to see his family only he didn't inform the insurance so not covered, lost it in France , spun and hit the barrier, recovery came out and he went home on the train
Recovery parked it in their yard and the alarm started going off so instead of finding out where the battery was like normal people would do and disconnecting it they crow bared the boot and door open to get in it as german had locked it and took the keys , it was worth repairing but they knackered it
Newbury garage brings it back because german wants to fix it but never does
steve swapped the engines/ boxes which was a LOT of work
bit of a win at the end though, I stripped the engine down to sell it for spares and found out the block was a replacement due to the nikasil problems they had at the time, sold the lot in bits to a company that rebuilds them for £600
I doubt this QP will be that cheap a fix , if I'd gone to a specialist and told them to fix my XK8 I could see that being 4k , at 90k the QP may have had 2 clutches but if not I wouldn't just fit a new gearbox while it's all apart and as voicy says, if the subframe is goosed and you're paying somebody £70 an hour
