It says on the website 5%Buyers premium and then 20% vat but I’ve heard that they actually have other hidden charges

5% seems cheap for the buyers premium, It's normally 12%+ vat to add on to the selling price and then by the time you work it out sometimes its not as cheap as you think. Plus check their terms as if you are bidding online some auctions charge a further 1 or 2%.

Lovely . I’d like that
yeh me too ......
My old man always said to me
" never buy a Jag ... you'll never want anything else after "
He'd had a few and he was right -- I've had a few over the years and they were a lovely motor......but by todays' stds that'd be a little disappointing, I suspect.

When I was a kid we never knew what motor the old man'd come home with from one week to the next ...
In those days a copper's income was pretty paltry and he used to supplement it buying and selling motors, from numerous mates in the trade.;):giggle:
God knows how many motors he had while I was growing up, but'd be in the hundreds

weren't the later jags built on a Mondeo pan anyway ??? didn't look a lot different to the Rover 75 either
the XJs were a totally different animal LL

That’s greenaway’s sale, they have a nice steam foden & a few Steam engines but are only selling the tat & junk that they don’t want. It’s a bit tight in their yard with a low loader so it’ll be interesting on sale day
