  Plenty of Good Buys at Auction Today 9 Jul 2003 (News)
  It’s a funny time in the used car trade. Demand for convertibles is up, as usual, but punters are generally very wary of high insurance groups unless the car bearing them comes with a lot of status attached. Middle of the road stuff is flat one day, selling the next, so still being bought but with a degree of caution.

  Topless Appearance at Auction Today 2 Jul 2003 (News)
  Not even for a fiver. Poor little thing. As for TwoJags 90G Sovereign 4.0 litre, it didn’t sell. The car had quite a chequered history having been an Irish import previously registered ‘TIW 5331’ and re-registered ‘G355AVL’ in 1996 as a ‘five door hatchback’. Its 86k miles were unwarranted.

Dearest by a long way was a 40k mile Connoisseur diesel in Tahiti Blue which someone wanted so much they paid £9,800.

  Something for Everyone at Auction Today 10 Jul 2002 (News)
  Car of the day had to be the 1996N reg XJ6 4.0 Sport in the photo. It was in staggering condition for a ’96, never mind one that had done 115,000 miles. No stone chips except on the drivers side of the screen and it didn’t even look like it had ‘had paint’.

  A Grand Monday: Rover 100 Ascot 15 Jul 2019 (News)
  By 1995, the Rover Metro was getting a little bit long-in-the-tooth. It had been a very successful car for Rover despite sharing much of its shell and platform with the original 1980 Austin Mini-Metro, along with its fluid-sprung Hydragas suspension. But, fun as it was to drive, the Metro felt very old fashioned alongside new 1990s rivals such as the Fiat Punto, Vauxhall Corsa and Nissan Micra K11.

  A Grand Monday: Jaguar XJ40 3.6 Sovereign 17 Dec 2018 (News)
  This example , then, looks well worth saving. It's all there and seemingly very solid, albeit with the usual boot lid rust. It's not a car you can jump in and drive - it's been stored in a garage for 15 years and has no online MoT history to back that up, but hopefully dry storage won't have caused it too much hardship. Early XJ40s are rare cars these days - and this is one that looks like it'll make a terrific project.
