This keeps getting relisted at ever decreasing amounts.
As tempting as it might be, you know it will need a whole load of money throwing at it very quickly.

That is near me, the seller seems to find a succession of cars like that which need recommisioning. He's had quite a few Jensen Interceptors, Rolls Royce and Bentleys.
Luckily I now accept that recommisioning a car is not something that I'm up to so I'll give it a miss
It looks OK to me. In fact, better than the white 3.4 Series 2 I bought back in 1988.

Sorry never tried to do a Marketplace link before.
It’s got a Polo engine, runs and drives but needs finishing, obvs.
Who do we know that might have done this...

I'm sure that Legoverpolo thing raised its ugly head on AS some time back.

That XJ will be a nightmare. Been there, done that. They are a nice museum exhibit but as a car to use, forget it. There is only one way to buy one of those and that's to spend a lot of money buying a perfect example that has been maintained regardless of cost. Anything less is a big hole into which you shovel lots of tens and twenties.

They were worthwhile things when a replacement car cost £400/500 out of any newsagent window or evening paper. There is probably little price disparity now between a good 'un and an utter dog, certainly not to the point you could find another one cheaply.
