As above am having to sell my black cat,brought february 2012 I used it daily until the head gasket popped back in june.
I got half way through the repair and snapped a head bolt in the block which is protuding the block as only a couple of inches of head bolt came back out.
I'd love to keep the car and carry on but with a wedding to pay for and the fact it doesnt fit in my garage(the bumpers are off but still half a foot too long) ive got to let it go
Now as ive said its a project so ill list whats needed and what it has
Interior
cream leather with dark upper doorcards and dash
drivers seat cracked and split but rest in good condition
headlining in typical fashion is sagging
gear selector surround has broken clips so does come off if pulled(does stay still when left alone)
head unit removed however I do have the jaguar original cassette
exterior
laquer peel on bonnet in the centre around half foot square area
few scratches and scrapes on body mainly bumper corners
xjr wheels however corroded causing face damage and slow punctures (been like this the whole time ive had the car)
boot lock was removed after somebody tried to gain access(now filled with stickes like sh!t)
also hole drilled below number plate after solenoid broke(obviously now repaired and both dash and boot button work)
As far as rust its arches are both starting at the rear and there is surface on the rear sill o/s(very small area)
Engine was fine until head gasket popped did have timing chain rattle on start up
Mileage is around 225000 (estimate as battery is currently disconnected)
Exhaust is original to straight pipes in place of backbox(honestly I like loud cars but this sounded amazing until the drone at 3k rpm gets on your tits)
Now ive been as honest as possible but I'd recomend popping down and having a look the price is the price (I paid £1100 for the car last year) but am looking for a winter bike so will consider pretty much anything
Obviously it will need trailering away and I can only do weekends but any questions just ask
im after £450 but will accept offers
the side view is from lat year and the front is how it is now apart from bumper removed
many thanks for looking
