Classics - if you want a good one... - Manatee

...buy a good one, rather than a project.

In auction today - 1967 Jaguar 340. £80,000 spent on restoration, estimate £24,000-£28,000.

OK, if you want to spend years in the garage doing it yourself you can save a lot of money, but if you just want a fully-fettled car, then buy one in the first place.

P.S. - it did very well, made £35k.

Nice motor - Flintshire Reg. I could see that in my garage very easily.

For the price it realised you could have an almost new 440i convertible like what my friend bought a few weeks ago.
It’s bad enough getting old without having to drive around in an old thing

Not ewe too ! I bet given half the chance you’d fly out to your next Caribbean cruise on a Boeing Stratocruiser.

What? and drown out those wonderful (but terribly unreliable) Air cooled 28cyl radial P&W Wasp majors?
