I think you're in for a shock mate.

Trades Mexi's for Mossie's, OK...

Kalifornia isn't America. Heck, even Communist Marylandistan isn't America but 60 miles West of DC it's pretty close.

I love the optimism of being able to shop around for SuperV8's. These aren't Camry's. It's not like you'll find one at every used car dealer.

If you're hung up on options, more than the X308 model, look into the later model X350's, especially the Daimlers.

From a quick look on Pistonheads, there is one Super V8 for sale, and it's £10,995.
You can pick up an XJR with similar miles for half that

Wrong, it's all this diversity that make America being the great country that it is. And yes, that even include you.
Happy 4th

I'm happy to take my time and spend 10000 pounds... the money isn't an issue... plus I can spend a lot of time looking. No worries, it will all work out... it HAS to be LWB and loaded Daimler😄

Jackie Stewart's X308 Super V8 is for sale currently. It's got high miles, but it's bound to have been looked after properly.

Or for a lot less money and less mileage there's a 2002 model on sale currently.
