Thank you so much for the replies . I saw that Green 1996 on EBay and did not see all those imperfections , you guys are amazing . Yes still looking for that 1996 . Saw on CL near Nashville black with tan 35 k miles asking price is $15 000 I received an email from the son in law and waiting for him to call me . Any of you guys near Nashville ?

 

This looks very cheap by UK standards assuming all the paperwork stacks up. Presumably Texas is a "dry" state?


Maybe I need to take a long holiday in the US and bring back a retirement project. The wife can always go and enjoy Wal-Mart!

Parts of Texas are dry, but you can always find a way to wet your whistle. Lots of cheap, rust free jags over here in the Wild West. You know that's why the Wheeler Dealers moved to sunny Southern California. The wife can go to Wal Mart and you will come back in Western Style boots, a 10 gallon hat, a new accent and a taste for Tex-Mex food. Your mates will think you have gone mad until you show them that rust free Jag you paid peanuts for.

 

Hi DBauerVDP,


Sounds a good excuse for a visit. By dry state I was thinking more about the car and lack of rainfall although its good to see there would be somewhere to wet my whistle to!


Apparently import duty into the UK is 30% on cars less than 30 years old so this would probably go some way to bringing the US / UK XJS price differential closer together.


Cheers,

Texas is so big it is desert on one end and jungle on the other. Chances are it should be good unless it is from the Gulf Coast. I do remember Clarkson going on about the import duties on Top Gear. I guess if it wasn't in place all the sheet metal guys would be out of work as the cheap, rust free, LHD drive cats all came back home.
