nice article about your 40 , good read

you may or may not be interested in a car brought into my local scrappy a few weeks ago, an identical car to yours , but not in such good condition

it is a genuine 4ltr sport that was all badged up and still has the original alloys , like yours,

it has however been jumped on by the locals and a few things have been damaged, ie, the boot-lid has been forced open etc

this car is in the most part complete, and could still be useful for spares , i managed to rescue the wing badges etc, before the local badge hunters destroyed them, the drivers seat is in fair condition, as is the passengers, the rear bench has gone missing though , i'm sure it also has the sunroof, a rare original item, like on my V12 XJS

if your interested in looking at it, pm me or reply on here, i did fancy offering the yard a few hundred quid for it, but someone took the top off the engine, and pulled out the fuel tank the other day.......shame

hope this helps

Hi Brake buster/ Rob,

Thanks for thinking about me but at the moment Ive no space for anything else.

Also I must admit Im watching the pennies as I work freelance and that workstream has dried up some what 3 days work in 3 weeks, not good....

But looking on the bright side Im glad you enjoyed the article, its was very good of Rob and Nigel to use it in the magazine.

Regards

John
