With the jag now a "Write off" because of the cost of keeping me in a hire car for a month i have invested in a new daily. toy. Super low mileage at 70k but needs some bodywork love. Collect it on Saturday after a very impressive test drive and viewing yesterday.   |

My youngest daughter's friend has one of these albeit supercharged andrunning at circa 400hp! He has many extra bits to keep it out of ditches.
A work colleague also had one and got rid of at 234k miles but only because he came into a bit of money so bought a new car.
Good , fast cars.

First couple of days and I think we're onto a winner.
Lacquer peel on mirrors already sorted and shopping list of body parts but looks like a few hundred finest British pounds will make this fairly immaculate.

That's very odd, sort of thing that happens when somebody has attempted to repair it to sell and not done a proper job.
