There is if you know where to look for it. Of course some complete trogladyte will then pile a load of rusting cars on it.  |

Well that would probably quicken the pulse of your average Essex man, although my ex is a Mercedes man through and through.
I can guarantee that he has at least 20 or more Mercs in various states of decompositin around his property. When I was still living with him there was a Daimler parked in the front drive that had been there for about 3 years, untouched. The last time I noticed it, it hadn't moved and looked as though it was embedding itself in the drive. We've been separated for 8 years and as far as I know it's still there, covered in bird shit. |

surely that jag could be done up and made all new again-it doesnt look that bad at all-imagine having a jag u just found in the park-even if its quite an old one

It won't be worth it. If the head is shot, its going to cost more than the car is worth. You can get a drivable XJ-S for a thousand upwards, and a reasonable one for 4 or 5.

There was a mercedes for sale at the car boot sale I went to yesterday...that was near Billericay. The man wanted £250 for it, but as I walked past a couple of Travellers had haggled him down to £50...but they they were arguing for £25.

Yup. I can't resist it.. my eyes go all wide when I see the chance of a car to be snapped up. I've improved lots recently though, and I only keep 2 here now for myself.
