Inspection- Eastleigh, Hants?

Postby Cossington » Thu Jun 08, 2017 2:42 pm

Hi All,

I am looking to swap my 2003 4.2 XJ, just to have a change, after 3.5 years. I have spotted a 2005 XJR in Eastleigh on Ebay. Unfortunately this is some distance from me in the Midlands. Are there any independent Jag specialists in the area you might suggest to undertake a pre-purchase inspection for me?

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Thanks,

David

I saw that car on Ebay via Trovit a couple of days ago, David. It caught my eye as it is not far away from me.

One of our Portsmouth members uses Shaun at S & C Motors in Netley. I don`t know the set up or the personalities myself. I don`t know if they can help.https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j ... ikAzZ3on2w

Davidr uses Hollygrove at Ringwood successfully. Will is the guy to speak to.

Graham Searle might be able to give you the name of a travelling car surveyor for the Southampton area.

Hope that helps.

Those names are really useful.

Hi - I know both Shaun at S&C Motors and Will at Hollygrove well. Both are Jaguar specialists and would know the X350 inside out.
Both are worth a call
