Classy.

This has got a headlining saggier than an old man's gusset but the correct number of cylinders.

Re: Glasgow is a ***ing long way
Thats an X300 so no.
I've found a X308 3.2 XJ8 Soveriegn on facebook that I'm on the cusp of taking a punt on. Spoke to the bloke on the phone and apart from the usual slightly saggy headlining (actually not that bad) it looks very tidy.
He's sent me a load more pics of the interior, it's nice and clean. Drivers seat isn't fucked. Needs a pair (probably a set in reality) of tyres but £1500 is about £400 under what most everything else that isn't a basket case is going for. MOT history doesn't suggest it's a bag of rot either.
And Lincoln is a lot closer than Glasgow :p

Re: Glasgow is a ***ing long way (The Jag XJ8 thread)
So I went to Lincoln today with £1500 and came home with this.
It’s tremendously unsuitable but IDGAF. 2.5 hours home in wafty comfort was ace. Spent 3 hours cleaning it mostly inside because it’s a bit grubby in places, but pending some decent leather cleaner it’s coming up nice already.
More tomorrow.

Re: Glasgow is a ***ing long way (The Jag XJ8 thread)
I'm not familiar with specs, are they standard/original wheels?
Sounds like a good way to spend £1500 so far

When are the silencers in the exhaust being deleted?

Yeah they’re ‘Celtic’ 17” option wheels. On P6000s which are a bit worn at the edges on the front.
Ac needs a regas and a couple of the door cards are loose at the bottom. Easy enough to sort out I expect.

Nice barge!
Re: Glasgow is a ***ing long way (The Jag XJ8 thread)
I can definitely see the appeal of that
Re: Glasgow is a ***ing long way (The Jag XJ8 thread)
A lot of waftiness for £1500!

Re: Glasgow is a ***ing long way (The Jag XJ8 thread)
The number of barges in the forum now surely says something about our demographic. Forum trip to Dignitas next year ??
