Ha Ha can you believe it my V6 up for sale. Gosh it looks good too, my heart missed a beat when I saw the advert. Oh now I have a decision to make, I think about 25K added to the mileage.

Mt brain hearts

It's a difficult decision. The car looks in excellent condition with some changes since my ownership. The thing is I just don't have the space for another car. I'd need to give serious thought on the XJ6 to be sold in place of a 75, but I've just spent £3K on the Jag getting it to a standard I want.

The Bentley I have also spent around £5K on it.

Oh dear my head or my heart.

To be honest, in your shoes I'd definitely be keeping the Bently, it's stunning . Does seem like fate though, so maybe swap out the XJ6?

I don't envy you the decisision.

If I hadn't just spent a load of money on the XJ6 it would be a no brainer for me but I have just brought the car up to A1 and I know I would not even get a return on my money if sold. I just put a new Catalytic Converter in the Jag so you can guess what that cost If this was happening a month ago no contest.

The Jag is so refined if a tad expensive to run the power is effortless with that aluminium body and then the 75 is such a stunning looking car.

When you can't decide, do what I do and have both! You will become tired of one one day, and then the decision is made. On second thoughts, ignore that - it's why I currently have a fleet of 16.
