Any thoughts chaps? are prices on the up for standard 2.8i specials? most good ones seem to be around 11K+ today

I went to see this, nice car but a few things put me off.

A REAL NICE GUY. Owned it from new.

If it was Black I would have bought it.

He doesn't I've too far from me and knows a few of the lads in local owners clubs - was there anything in particular that put you off?

For the price I was expecting it to be immaculate.

It had rust round the glass to the tailgate, windscreen is foggy and de laminating, oil leak to engine, I think the dash was cracked but might be mistaken about the dash it was a good few weeks ago.

But still a good car

Hi,
The car looks nice in the photos. Having owned the car from new, this is the type of owner who would have really cherished the car for it's whole life. I wonder why he's decided to sell now?

I think it isn't getting used, I believe he has a few jaguar car's he prefers

A few things to fix then - thanks for the heads up - I think 2.8's may on the up again looking around recently.

Hi Andrew - been a while and hope all is well. Given its originality, lowish mileage and one owner it's certainly worth some thought. The owner knows a friend of mine well and he's become more of a Jag man over the years so genuine reason to sell after all this time. Shame it has a few issues that would need attention but as its only a few miles from where I live, I will pop over and take a look as would like a mk 3 next to my mk1 ,:-)
