Re: Today’s want
this is the big bit - I don't have time to do anything these days..
If the maths works, and you gain something - then yep, could be worth a punt!

Back in July I bought a Ferrari, without telling her, while she was away for the weekend. I got away with it. A £3k Cayenne would be a cakewalk

I am extremely lucky to have her

Love this oddity. I'd have it in preference to Harry's XJC.

Not quite sold on the green velour seat inserts either.

Re: Today’s want
They're probably the same fitment/spacing as all Jags and simply bolt on. Bit weird I agree but there's a limo version on the same wheels and same whitewall tyres on the website for sale as well

Re: Today’s want
As for the interior, it's fucking brilliant and I won't hear a word said against it

Maybe with a different colour, just not sure 70s-hospital-hall-green is quite the right option.Jobbo wrote: Tue Oct 10, 2023 5:09 pmAs for the interior, it's fucking brilliant and I won't hear a word said against it![]()

That looks like one of those Micra based 'homages' to older Uk cars.

I did however award myself 83 points for noticing that the triple-SU carb setup wasn’t original 420-spec.

Left over crest; tightens.
Re: Today’s want
I've seen it before on cars with really long doors so the rear seat passengers can release the door to get out. But the doors on that aren't long enough that the second handle is easily accessible from the back seat, so far as I can tell. Maybe if you are chauffered the passenger seat would be moved forward a bit.
Re: Today’s want
I assumed it was for when you were using the rear seat in a "business class" mode with the front seat moved and tilted forwards. Obvs your PA would usually open the door for you in that scenario, but maybe if you need to get out pronto to avoid losing sight of Penelope Pitstop whilst she tries to escapeJonMad wrote: Fri Oct 13, 2023 8:36 amWhat is that about?

First pic I came across for the above

Re: Today’s want
You’re all wrong, it’s clearly for Hightower when he rips the front seat out and sits straight in the back
