Yeh, I have gone though a few I thought were worth while, some people are incredibly disingenuous about state of cars. There was an Xk8 local, add shows full mot, it was tested a few weeks back and failed and has hols in the floor! XK8 floors are regular rust spots which are quite easily fixed, there is a plate under the floor which is a moisture trap - I sprayed grease from an aerosol between the plate and floor anytime I was under it and didn't get an issue. The 4.2 us a better engine as the chain tensioners don't need replacing, if that is needed on a 4.0 the repair can cost what the saving between models might be.

Jim. I want your garage.
And, still awaiting the elusive drive by video....
Come on Jimmy ! My garage? That's my place of business! The Jag is back in the unit to be flatted and cut and polished, after which a drive-by *might* happen. God knows when we'll find the time as we currently have 2 other (less exciting) projects, along with normal work. We have been asked to paint a light aircraft and we have bought a touring caravan that we are gutting and turning into an office...

Well, it looks like a nice garage and so I still want it Fingers crossed for the drive-by. Sounds like you're diversifying rather well there Jim.
