I like them but the wrong headlights they have fitted to this one do it no favours.

In my mind is worth about 10k especially as it's had the sleeve fitted over the chassis rail which most of the TAVOs (tight arsed Valiant owner) agree isn't a good thing unless you cut out the old rail and fix all the rot before fitting it, at which point you no longer need the sleeve.

Mustang seems good value though.

The Mark X Jag didn't need anything to make it look like a pig. It accomplished that quite readily.

Mark Tens looked best the week before they were scrapped. I miss seeing those.

They were a spectacular miss. The Mark 7 looked okay and the later 8/9 gaudy and overdone. Mark 1's and early XJ's are my faves. The Series 1 XJ was just a masterpiece. It's never been bettered imo.

How far is Vigo from here and is there enough petrol left in the World to drive this back from there?
