Is there any kind soul hereon within easy and SHORT travelling distance of Heefrow Airport could go and look at a Jaguar XJ at a Loudwater garage for me...? All out of pocket expenses will be reimbursed along with a very nice bonus of some Scottish Wine as Kingo calls it (arse.....)
I am about to put a supposedly returnable deposit on it, only returnable “if the car is not as described” whatever TF that means.....
You are NOT required to be a mechanic and will not be a part of a final decision making process......just a bit car savvy is all that’s required.
Thanks in advancement.
Charlie.......buy a hoose in London .........

Had a Jaguar XJ 1989 vintage, 2.9L petrol with LPG conversion. Comfy car ....altho LPG was interesting. It ran well on gas, apart from at traffic lights when the lights changed to green, it somehow took a convulsion and spat back. Blew the air filter into various parts but I learnt how to re-assemble the intake very very quickly....would have put an F1 mechanic to shame. The electrics were crap - the central locking struggled to embrace the concept of conformity and co-ordination....doors would lock in random order or not at all. Sold it to a man from south of England who drove it home then demanded his money back. I suggested that he had just experienced the trip of a lifetime and he should be paying me more.
Shame- I was down in Hull this week which I believe is near(er) London. Managed to escape before the place self-ignites today.
