<div class="bbWrapper">Very nice, I have always had a soft spot for the earlier jags, there's just something about them</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Nice looking....maybe. It's a shame they could not have found a set of decent Dunlops/Goodyear or Michelins to throw on it.......to me it shows other details you cannot see might have been overlooked.<br /> <br /> My mates got one, it's cost him a fortune over the past 15 years or so, beautiful cars though.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">First question - what's the price-- might be wanting silly money<br /> Second question- will it run on unleaded? <br /> Third question--- its not a 2.4/240 is it?</div>

Of course, only a proper inspection would tell if that's the case. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></div>

<div class="bbWrapper">It's nice to see one with the correct spats - so many of them now have stupid small spats that are completely wrong for the car or have had rear wheel arches fabrictated that look even worse.<br /> <br /> The manual-overdrive cars fetch the best money - especially models like this one that will have the all-synchromesh gearbox that was introduced in 1965.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">They are surprisingly nice to drive - especially at motorway speeds. <br /> Manual with overdrive is the way to go.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">The only way.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Yummy!</div>
