Wanted - an interesting toy for sub £2k

[Watchcame430]

I'm going to sell it for 3.5 so it's close !

Very nice car indeed .. Some rare options and if i were looking for every day car would be perfect. Not long out of two BMW in a row though (last year) so something different needed I think although older BM's still an option.

Loving the spec though!

Jag S Type 4.0

yes! Nice ... Having a look,

Also found this ... Different?

XM is interesting although even with the low miles a bit pricey? I like it and do like Citroens ... it is interesting. Bet it is comfrtable.

XM are in demand now, interesting ones sell quickly.

A late V6 Exclusive is a very nice car and that one is sorted.

If I was interested in a Series 2, I would buy it, but earlier ones are my penchant.

That looks nice , needs to be a twin turbo though really.

I found another in completed listings that sold for £800 not as nice though and higher miles. It is a nice car.
I like the c8 too.

Bidding on this at the mo:

Good point ... Forgot the twin turbo version.... Will have a hunt.
Just thought of another 3000GT

Although matey with the white 300zx says he has a full twin turbo engine and all ancillaries for the right price ...

How DIY are you

The blue one was a steal, well worth the money.
The silver one has just had a replacement gearbox fitted and Malcolm at Savoy is a straight-forward Guy.
I was amazed how quiet a late V6 is.

Do you mean C6. A very nice car...until you look at the dashboard fittings, which are PSA parts bin stuff...

Its been a while since i did an engine swap and it was on a 911 (easier than most)
Might be a step too far for my skills.
While still going to consider all the above interesting cars I think my short list top 3 in preference is currently:

1) Facelift xjs like this (damn i missed this one!)
1993 Jaguar XJS 4.0 'facelift' Low mileage/1 prev owner with history, v original | eBay

2) A late P38 Range Rover 4.6 HSE or Autobiography / westminster or other ltd edition

3) 500SL

Keep the suggestions coming though!

Sorry yes the c6 ... C8 is the mpv thing

Sorry to jump in again, but while the suggestions are all excellent, the thought occurs that for a cheap plaything the fewer pieces of electronickery there are the better. I have two pet hates, electronics and power steering racks.

I'd like something that I can attack with spanners rather than an oscilloscope!

I like buttons though

I know, was incredible if true.
The seller must have felt a fool when seeing all it needed was an oil change.
Didn't make sense to let it go for a grand. Very odd.

Jaguar XJRS 5.3 V12 2DR 1989

This is more like it! Nice one.
Have dropped the dealer a mail with some questions. Thanks!

That's just an XJS , not an XJRS
