RWD automatics are easy in snow. My father ran SD1s and Jaguar Sovereigns in the 80s and 90s as everyday cars and never had a problem. Nor do I. It's the way you drive them!

Opps! Steady on, I can see this is going off topic.

Kev.

In all honesty I can't remember but its a hell of a lot less than going through official Xpart channels. There is a link for replacement keys in BigRuss' signature but it appears to be dead, send him a PM. Best way is to visit him, you get a cracking cup of tea included! You still need to get the blade cut, copied from your original key but any good independent locksmith should be able to do that. If you don't have a spare key I'd recommend you at least get a dumb key (no remote or transponder) copied from yours. Won't start the car but will allow you to open the driver's door should you shut the keys in the boot or what ever.

Still sitting at £9,100 with less than 24 hours to go.

I see the reserve has been reduced but still not met.

Auction ended at £9,900.

Reserve still not met.

Maybe someone got carried away with the bidding at the Mathewsons auction?

Yup, it certainly looks that way - see post #28!
Yet there are still people out there willing to spend circa £10K, it's a lovely if not unique car but still.....

Back on Ebay at £10250. So perhaps that was his reserve price.

Ooh, that's a big hit considering he paid almost £13,000 (£11,600 plus commission etc) at the auction.

It says " There is nothing wrong with it at all but, unforseen circumstances forces sale."

Does that mean that the wife discovered how much he paid for it?
