LISTER XJ40 save it from the crusher!

Postby 555ttg » Sun Jun 10, 2012 1:12 pm

I have 1 of the 22 LISTER converted XJ40 cars. I live in Canada. I am getting rid of all my cars and so the car must go. I have all the specs, of what was done to the car by WP AUTOMOTIVE, when they upgraded the car. There are only 7 known to survive from the original 22. There is no-one on this side of the pond that cares enough to save the car. I am willing to scrap the car, as I need to get rid of it, scrap value over here is about £450 so anyone that wants to save the car, can have it for the same price the scrapman will give me. I realise the car is in Canada, so there will be the cost of transporting it back to the UK, if anyone over there wants it, about £1500 on top of the price of the car. I have all the V5C as the car was never registered in Canada.
The conversion cost back in 1989 was something in the region of £60,000 on top of the price of the new car!
Please PM me if anyone interested.
Thanks
Phil
