Love the design of that generation SL, it's aging really well imo.

It is about a grand and a half's worth of it.

My Dad's threatening to buy this, at auction next weekend. Apparently it's already been through once before and didn't sell.

I'm steering him towards an SL500 instead...

That’s the 2.7 V6 diesel isn’t it? I know they’re economical but have no idea about reliability.

Maybe 96000 miles and 3 owners are both low for a 2009 XJ but I think I’d rather take a punt on the newer shape one.

“ Original Vauxhall Salesman's business card (Stewart Robertson)”

I think that might trump original windscreen….

If it hadn't been Stewart Robertson, the car would be worthless.

That looks like a purchase “not without some risk” 😄

To be honest, whilst I love the LC I can’t inagine there is much it does that a 15-year younger VXR8 wouldn’t do better - for a fraction of the price. You could probably even drive it 😎

They must go to the same type of buyer that pays crazy money for old Fords. I've never been in one, but can't imagine that the straight six is a more interesting engine than an LS, so all of the money is going on the impact that it made at launch, and you get to stare at an old Carlton dashboard if you do use it...
