So what have you done today..?

Very pertinent that you posted a picture of the XJS engine. I was parked next to a V12 owner at a show recently and it was generally agreed that the engine layout either evolved or the designer was pissed out of his mind. What a complete and utter mess!

Two pictures to compare:

 

Such a classic situation, people just never seem to grasp the facts do they?

 

I sometimes used to prank rude pisstakers like that by agreeing a deal and then giving them a false address.

 

As he likes America then Wrigley fields would seem an appropriate address, he might meet the Illinois Nazis or John Candy there…….

 

What year is the Jaguar engine? 1970- 74?

 

And there is definitely a difference between buyers of different things. List motorbike stuff and 99% of people are spot on, list guitars and it’s 50:50, list vintage/ valuable guitars and probably 90% time wasters. Once had a guy offer £1000 for an £8k early 60s Les Paul, then got arsey when I refused. That guitar would probably be £20k now.

 

It's not been possible to verify the age but the engine layout was the same right up to the end of production in 1996. I would hazard a guess that this photo is of a 1988 to 1994 model.

 

Just got back from the pub, and to be quite honest I’m quite pissed
Yeah so that’s it.

 

So its not the E type then?
