there's got to be a reason why something like that is priced in only at $5K.

I thought you meant one of these:

which seemed like a pretty good idea

Thought that as well sid. thanks for confirming my doubts. i'd love to buy an old jag, but still waiting for the best deal. not trying to pay more than $5k.

Thats a beauty mate. I don't have a good sense of whats a deal or not or cars as a fact. But I love old cars =].

on the real bruv, a mate of mine had 3 jags.. 2 from the 1980's.. double gas tank bidnis.

he picked them up cheap.. then sunk few hundred bob into each, drove the piss outa them then sold them for profit..

as long as you going for the later models should be alright.. the one you showed tho looks to be a labor of love fam.. and maybe a likkle money pit.

That is a beautiful machine man...

You know the joke about the X series tho... you need 2 of em. One for the road and one for parts

I don't know the car's history though so I can't comment on that model. Plus, I agree - for 5 grand?

Hit it!

you would be the envy of all your friends.

my only point for concern would be parts.

do a bit of columbo work , if you can still readily get parts then jump in that mofo like a ,er, mofo.
