Brief back story:
Last year I sold my track clio 182 as I have a new found love for all thing Jaaaaaag. An x300 inherited from my dad to me and my brother sparked interest in a car i never previously looked at. This turned into buying a 98' xjr and never look back since.
THE S TYPE
Last october I bought an 99' S type 3.0 manual on 35k miles. A complete blind buy off ebay from down in cornwall, bearing in mind I'm in blackpool
The low miles lured me in and it had to be british racing green (or some form if green). And an ebay listing won at £580 ensured that. To put it simply, it was quite the LEMON. As it was a blind buy no MOT I was expecting a little, but what I had on my drive was a jag with:
- no cats.
- a hole in the rear sub frame you could fit your hand in.
- paintwork that looked like it had been cleaned with a kitchen scour pad.
Got all these problems and a good few others sorted it and got it through its MOT and insured. The interior disgusted me and I quickly got onto the track prep.
