what you think?

i would be very carfull when looking at the series 3 xj6's, most i've seen have been very rusty and as a mot failure due to rust i would'nt want to touch the thing. These cars are prone to rust pretty much everywhere and anywhere. If your after a good series 3 xj6 i would want to spend around 4k for a solid example which are quite rare these days.

are you after a jag for the weekends or a daily driver?

g-mac · 2nd September 2009, 00:50

ahh thanks knew it couldnt be that simple

purely weekends......if even........ideally pre 1985ish
daimler, jag, rover p5 coupe, ford pilot.......whatever comes first/best.

g-mac · 2nd September 2009, 00:58

dont think rust would be a problem with this one though...............lol

oooh she does look like a stunner! To get her back on the road and purring again she would need atleat 1k spending on her, not alot realy as most of the hard work has been done.

yea all youd need is a scrapped model to swap the interior glass etc over
white isnt a nice colour in them though
