A mid 90's Jag XJ6 3.2, burgundy, cream leather, 2 owners from new, 50,200 miles, FSH in virtually brand new condition - about 3 or 4 years ago, bought at the block.
I'd never been in one & it suited me down to the ground, a diesel Focus would have the legs on it & certainly would give better than 23mpg but I loved it - I don't know why, I just did. If I'd had a garage I'd of kept it & I told the buyer the only reason he was buying was because I didn't have a decent garage.
Anyhow £3000 on eBay, one local man came around looking for a deal "cos there's one at a Jag specialist for £4500" Eh??? Work that one out! So I politely sent him on his way.
Two days later he was back on the phone declaring mine cleaner, that my FSH was full & the specialist's wasn't FULL but still trying to chip £100. I had the great pleasure of replying "Sorry Sir, you're a day late, it left London-bound yesterday with its new owner" The best thing was he obviously bought the other one as I regularly saw him driving it until I moved location.
