Some still uneconomical to repair?

Hello,
Noticed this sad pair on eBay today, from £99 for parts.
This is happening more now with these XJS’s.
Imagine if they were a couple of E-Types piled on top of each other. Ok …probably if it was 1972 with two rusty 3.8’s.
I guess it might been down to, too far gone, cost and availability of good parts and an increasing number of folks actually having the ‘know-how’ or tools to repair these cars.
I am sure some of you will have a view on this.
I think a few might even take these on, but why pile them on top of each other.
Apart from JEC events, I have not seen a XJS on the road for at least a year now.
‘Keep the restorations going!’ :)

Hello Nicholas.
I think I've seen only one on the road in the last five years down here in the South Hams,Devon.
Its a shame to see them like that :(
Take care.
Andy :D
