Model History

Built as a luxury grand tourer, rather than a sports car the Jaguar XJS was billed as the replacement for the legendary E-Type but it never shared its sporting heritage. The Mark I XJS was powered by a 5.3 litre V12 engine and was initially offered with a choice of manual or automatic transmission. There was criticism of styling, especially the ‘flying buttresses’ behind the rear window but the car’s image was aided by appearances in TV shows such as The New Avengers. This did help boost sales a little, although Jaguar dealers reported slow sales as the fuel crisis had coincided with the release of the XJS.

In 1981 Jaguar gave their 5.3 litre engine an over-haul improving fuel economy by nearly 50% and bringing more performance with it. These upgrades made the XJS the fastest automatic-transmission car in production with a top end of 168 MPH and 60 MPH arriving in just 5.7 seconds. 1983 saw Jaguar release a cabriolet XJS, using a new 3.6L Jaguar AJ6 engine. The Jaguar XJSC was purely a 2 seater and came with a removable, middle hard-top much like the Porsche Targa. Initially the Jaguar XJSC was a 6-cylinder car, however in 1985 Jaguar began offering the V12 for the XJSC.

1988 saw Jaguar introduce a fully convertible version in place of the previous Targa style roof before the XJS was significantly re-engineered in 1991 which are referred to as “facelift” models. The rear side windows appeared enlarged (although the body glass aperture was actually the same size as the earlier car), and the buttresses stayed, as designer Geoff Lawson argued that they were part of the car’s character. The car received a new 4-litre version of the AJ6. In 1992 a 4-litre convertible was added to the range. The V12′s capacity was enlarged to 6 litres in May 1993 and at the same time the car benefited from a revision to the rear brakes, they were now fitted with outboard rear disc brakes, instead of the more complicated inboard items on previous models.

In April 1994 substantial revisions were made to the 4-litre AJ6 engine which became the 4-litre AJ16 with coil on plug ignition being amongst the most noticeable of the changes. In 1995, the final specification changes were made and the car was referred to as the Celebration model to celebrate the 60th year of the Jaguar company. Celebration cars are easily identifiable by the diamond turned wheels, Jaguar embossed seats and distinctive wooden steering wheel. These latest cars are the most desirable of all the later XJSs, especially the convertibles. The 6-litre V12 had all but disappeared by this time and was only available during the last year of production by special order.

Exterior

This is a very genuine XJS V12. During our time we have been to see plenty of XJS’s and as a general rule you are nearly always disappointed. Not in this case! It is simply one of the most original and best kept examples we have ever come across. The previous owners have kept the car in professional storage and this shows when the car is put up on the ramps and checked through. The underside is in fantastic condition with no visible structural rust on the floor pan or panels, and we have not found any evidence of previous repairs and the paint work is in fantastic condition with out any dents or scratches to spoil the looks.

Wheels, Tyres and Brakes

The car is fitted with its original equipment lattice spoke 15 inch alloy wheels with Pirelli P6000 (235/60/R15). These are pretty much unmarked and the tyres are in fantastic condition with over 6mm of tread. Inspecting the car it is clear to see that the brakes have all been recently overhauled with new friction parts and they stop this big car very quickly and effectively.

Engine and Transmission

The 5.3 litre High Efficiency engine is in fantastic condition as you would expect from a car with such low mileage and such a comprehensive main dealer service history. She fires quickly, without any blue smoke from cold and settling down to an even idle as the V12 warms through. Under load the engine is smooth and feels like it is putting out all of the circa 300 BHP it left the factory with. The three speed gearbox changes nicely with a quick kick down as you bury your foot in the carpet. The cruise control is also in working order.

Interior

One of the ways that you know a car has had genuine low mileage is to look hard at the interior. Where as it is relatively easy to ‘tart up’ tired paint work getting an interior as prone to ware as a 90′s Jaguar is almost impossible. The interior on this car is stunning with pretty much untouched leather, carpets and headlining. The interior gauges and electric’s work as they should and the hood is in fantastic condition. The electric hood goes up and down quickly and seems in good working order.

Road Test

These cars provide one of the finest ways to cover distance in total luxury. It is smooth, fast and capable of covering continents with great ease. If you are looking for a weekend car that will make you and your occupant feel like a million dollars when you turn up in a hotel car park miles from home, with all your baggage safely stowed in the boot. Look no further.

Additional Equipment

She is a stock standard Ghia – Not many of those left!

Model History

In the early 1950′s VW decided that their model range needed a bit of a lift. The Beetle and Type 2 Van were doing well, but there was a lack of sex appeal to the model range so they contracted Karmann, the German coach builders, to produce a 2+2 body for the mechanicals of the Type 1 Beetle. In turn Karmann contracted out the design of the car to Italian styling house Ghia who designed two bodies, a coupe and a convertible. The car was launched in 1955 and proved to be an instant success. With beautiful Italian styling, German build quality and of course those reliable Beetle under pinnings, proved to be a winning formula. The Karmann Ghia was never really a true sports car but it was a great looking coupe that could be run on a meagre budget which proved perfect for cash strapped and oil starved 1950′s Europe and America too.

As with other models, multiple changes were made to the Karmann Ghia throughout its lifetime. The most notable exterior changes came in 1961 including the car’s new wider, finned, front grilles, raised headlights relocation and rear tail light lenses which became taller and more rounded. Cars made from 1955 to 1959 are referred to as “lowlights” due to the lower placement of the headlights.
The Italian designer Sergio Sartorelli, designer of Type 34 or Razor Edge Ghia, took part in the various restyling of Type 14, until he went to work for Ghia. 1970 saw the introduction of larger tail lights integrating the reverse lights and larger wrap around turn signals in contrast to the earlier “bullet” style lights. In 1974, the Karmann Ghia was replaced by the Golf based Volkswagen Scirocco.

Exterior

This is a very original Karmann Ghia Coupe, recently awoken from 20 years of living in a barn the body work is in good condition. The paint has seen some cosmetic tidying over the years, but presents very well as does the chrome and other trim. We have had this car on our ramps quite a few times over the last couple of months to do various bits of mechanical work and the floor pan, suspension, front wheel well and bulkheads are all free from structural rust. Dan has been working away on the paint with his potions and ‘waffle pad’ and has made a beautiful job of bringing the paint back to life. It is currently sitting in the corner of our showroom radiating orange vibes around the place!

Wheels, Tyres and Brakes

The car is fitted with a set of standard 15 inch steel wheels with chrome hub caps and brand new Bridgestone 165/50 R15 tyres. The brakes recently had a full overhaul in our workshop including new discs, pads, drums, shoes, wheel cylinders, flexible pipes and calliper and master cylinder overhauls. The car pulls up quick and true and is ready for many more miles yet.

Engine and Transmission

The engine is a stock 1,584cc flat four cylinder engine which has had a massive overhaul service to get it in great running condition. It fires quickly with your foot buried in the carpet and a twist of the key. Over the last couple of months it hasn’t used any measurable amount of oil and does not seem to suffer from any leaks, which is unusual! The 4 speed transmission is slick and all the gears engage easily and the clutch is positive and light.

Interior

Once again it is all standard in here. The black vinyl seats are in good condition and the instruments work as they should. The carpets, door cards and headlining are also original and in good condition. There is plenty of room for a driver and passenger, but I am not sure who VW expected would sit in the back!

Road Test

The Karmann Ghia is an absolute joy to drive, whether keeping up with the other traffic at 70 MPH on the motor way or cruising down Kings Road it has to be one of the coolest motoring experiences. The steering is precise and light, thanks to the fact that the engine is hung out the back and there is plenty of power from the willing 1,600cc engine. We have covered about 500 local miles in the car whilst getting it prepared and it will make someone a perfect classic toy!

History File

Last year we bought a good number of ‘barn find cars’ from a family in Ireland. Sadly the Karmann Ghia is the last in the line having been a ‘sleeping project’ over the last few months. There is little early history but we have been through this car back to front and top to bottom. Martin and Jonny have replaced almost all of the rubber, friction and service parts, tuned the engine, changed all of the suspension bushes, fluids, tyres and wheels to get it running properly and reliably. Dan, Frankie and Mr Mumford have been responsible for cosmetic paint, detailing and re-chroming the bumpers and with a fresh MOT she is ready for a summer of VW festivals.

A good looking, great handling sports car!  Otherwise: 16 inch alloy wheels at the front, 17 inch at the rear, sports seats, electric windows, removable hardtop and a three spoke leather steering wheel.

Additional Equipment

Metallic blue paint work, carpet set, Sony CD player and 4 speakers, matt black alloy wheels

Model History

The Elise was named after Elisa, the granddaughter of Romano Artioli who was chairman of Lotus and is a two seat, rear-wheel drive, mid-engined roadster. Originally conceived in early 1994 it was released to critical acclaim in September 1996. The hand-finished fibreglass body shell clothes a bonded, extruded aluminium chassis that provides a rigid platform for the suspension, while keeping weight and production costs to a minimum. The roadster was capable of speeds up to 150 mph even through it had a relatively small 1.8 litre K-Series 4 cylinder engine.

In 2000 new European regulations around crash sustainability spelt the end for the Series 1, and Lotus needed a development partner to meet the investment requirement to update the car. General Motors offered to partner/fund the project, in return for a badged and GM-engined version of the car for their European brands, Opel and Vauxhall. Announced on October 9, 2000, the Series 2 Elise was a redesigned using a slightly modified version of the Series 1 chassis to meet the new regulations, and the same K-series engine with a brand new Lotus-developed ECU. The design of the body paid homage to the still-born M250 project, and was the first Lotus to be designed on computer.

Both the Series 2 Elise and the Vauxhall VX220 were built on the same production line, in a newer facility at Hethel. Both cars shared many parts, including the chassis, although they have different drive-trains and power-plants. The Series 2 was also available as a 111S model, with the VVC engine technology producing 160 BHP.

Exterior

There is many a hard campaigned Lotus Elise currently on the market and although it very difficult to say how carefully previous owners have or have not driven a car the fibre glass bodies and full length aluminium under trays usually tell a pretty good storey. This car does not seem to have had any paint, the under trays are largely unmarked and the suspension at all four corners is in very good condition and look original. Whilst we had the wheels and brakes off we gave the callipers and arms a paint up to make them look a little prettier and protect them from corrosion in the future. Otherwise there is no sign of damage or repair. The body work itself has some mild gravel rash over the exposed front splitter and at the base of the rear arches, but nothing that detracts from the look of the car, or would be noticed if it was not freshly valeted. You might pick out a stone chip in the front windscreen in the pictures, but this is due to be replaced later this week and given that the sun was shining we elected to get the pictures done before it could be fitted!

Wheels, Tyres and Brakes

This car is fitted with 16 inch Lotus alloy wheels at the front and 17 inch alloys at the rear. There are some very minor kerb marks, but otherwise they are in very good condition. They have a matching set of Bridgestone tyres with 7 mm of tread at the front and 4mm of tread at the rear. The brakes have just been replaced both front and rear and it has had a brake fluid change. The car now stops just as impressively as it goes!

Engine and Transmission

This is the 160 BHP version of the Lotus tuned K-Series engine and has had a comprehensive service history from Lotus main agents Frosts. The engine fires easily, warms through quickly and feels very smooth and pokey! The coolant has just been changed as has the oil, but there was no signs of cross contamination or leaks when we checked it through and gave it a service. The 5 speed gearbox seems in excellent condition as swapping between gears is simple and crunch free!

Interior

The interior is simple and ergonomically almost perfect. Getting in and out with the hard top in place is always a bit of an art, but the Elise easily accommodates two 6 foot plus people! There are a few minor scuff marks on the sill covers from getting in and out, otherwise the interior is in excellent condition. This car is a slightly higher spec than usual having electric windows, a carpet set and a Sony CD player.

Road Test

These are the ultimate no frills sports car. The power to weight ratio means that you get amazing performance from a frugal 1.8 litre engine, which not only gives you good MPG when you are not rinsing the last horse out of it, but means that they are relatively cheep to keep maintained. What is amazing is that the Elise can be a very civilised drive. The suspension is compliant and you don’t get the bump or torque-steer associated with so many of its rivals. This particular car is a very tight driving vehicle and is an absolute joy on the road.

History File

This Elise was supplied by main agents Frosts in Shoreham by Sea, West Sussex on the 8th April 2004 and been maintained by them ever since.  The car has been serviced at the following intervals:

29/04/2004  -  920 miles  -  Frosts (Cars) LTD  -  Running in Service

31/03/2005  -  6,986 miles  -  Frosts (Cars) LTD  -  A-Service

28/04/2006  - 16,322 miles  -  Frosts (Cars) LTD  -  A-Service

09/03/2007  -  23,084 miles  -  Frosts (Cars) LTD  -  B-Service

25/01/2008  -  28,259 miles  -  Frosts (Cars) LTD  -  A-Service and Cam Belt

19/05/2009  -  43,237 miles  -  Frosts (Cars) LTD  -  A-Service

There is an invoice to repair the Fan Motor Resistor which apparently is a common fault, and a £1048.89 bill! This was done by main agents Frosts on 14th April 2008

The last owner purchased the vehicle in May 2008 initially using the car a great deal, but due to other commitments the car has spent the last three years in professional storage given short ‘exercise runs’ and kept covered in a dehumidified garage on a battery conditioner.  In that time the car has covered less than 5,000 miles.  To make sure the car was thoroughly prepared we have given the Elise a full B-Service including all new fluids, plugs, oil, air and fuel filter and replaced the brakes front and rear.  She has a new MOT and is ready for some summer fun.

23/04/2012  -  48,107 miles  -  Eclectic Cars LTD  -  B-Service and brakes front and rear.

Model History

The W124 E Class was the very last “no expense spared” model to be designed and built by Mercedes Benz. As the 90s wore on it became apparent that Mercedes would have to cut production costs as they struggled to sell their cars against mass produced Japanese vehicles such as the Lexus LS 400.

When launched in 1984 much of the 124′s technology was very advanced. It had one of the lowest drag coefficients of any vehicle of the time having under body aerodynamic aids to streamline airflow and just a single windscreen wiper to help reduce wind noise. There was also an oxygen sensor in the exhaust system that combined with semi-electric fuel injection helped the engineers to make the engine more efficient, improving both fuel economy and emissions.

It was in the field of occupant safety that the W124 excelled. Mercedes had been working on crash tests since the ’70s and developed the body using light-weight high-strength steel to withstand an offset crash into a concrete block at 35 MPH with out serious harm to the occupants. This test became the basis for the now renowned Euro-NCAP. In the interior there were many safety options that we now take for granted such as padded dash areas, airbags, seat belt pre-tensioners and pedals that move away from the driver in a frontal impact. The W124 was available in Saloon and Estate versions through the ’80s and Mercedes launched a Coupe and Convertible in 1991.

Exterior

This W124 Convertible has the optional AMG body kit from the factory and is finished in the popular Azurite Blue Metallic. The paint finish on the car is very good indeed without unsightly dents, scratches or trim damage. The shell and chassis appears to be original with out any significant damage or repairs although both rear quarters have had cosmetic paint work which has been done to a high standard. Rust is usually the big killer on these early 90s Mercedes and there is no signs of corrosion on this car with its current owner having cherishing the car over the last 3 years of ownership.

Wheels, Tyres and Brakes

The car has got the optional (and very expensive!) 17 inch AMG alloy wheels that are all in good condition with out major kerb marks. They tyres are also in good condition with no uneven wear and a good amount of tread left. As with all W124′s it is fitted with disc brakes all round and ABS which stops it very well.

Engine and Transmission

As with the rest of the W124 the Engine and Transmission are well known for there reliability. Mercedes even offered prizes to their customers that covered very high mileages these were available at 150,000 km, 500,000 km and 1,000,000 km. Thankfully this car has led a much more pampered life having only covered 67,785 miles and has been serviced every year, regardless of the low annual mileage covered later in its life. As you would expect the engine feels strong and the automatic gearbox changes smoothly.

Interior

As you would expect from a two owner low mileage car like this the interior is in very good condition. The grey leather is without tears or unsightly marks and the carpets are in very good condition. The convertible roof works perfectly folding away into a compartment in front of the boot.

Road Test

The Mercedes W124 is very nearly unique in recent European motoring history. It is a full four seat convertible with a genuinely capacious interior. There is just no other car this side of a Bentley that provided this amount of occupant space, pace or comfort. There is an amazing air of solidity as you drive along, with little scuttle shake and the 124 gives you huge confidence. It is an immensely competent Grand Tourer and would happily transport you, your friends and luggage across a continent.

History File

This is a two owner vehicle that has been very well looked after during its 15 year life. It was supplied by JR Taggert in April 1997 who then service it again at 6570 miles in July ’98. After this it has been serviced yearly at Mercedes Specialist Kings Motors in Alperton, London until 2009. We sold her to her current owner 3 years ago and he has maintained it locally using it as a second car for sunny days and holidays. We are in possession of the original book pack, owners manual and Maintenance Booklet and, of course, the V5 log book. She is HPI clear.

Wheels, Tyres and Brakes

The wheels are 15 inch polished Mercedes alloys which have just had a date at Pristine Wheels and have been completely restored. The tyres Pirelli P6000′s and are all in good condition with over 6mm of tread.  The brakes have had a service with front pads, rear discs and pads and brake fluid. The W124 has ABS as standard and despite being a heavy old Hector brakes very competently indeed.

Engine and Transmission

As with the rest of the W124 the engine and transmission are well known for there reliability. Mercedes even offered prizes to their customers that covered very high mileage’s these were available at 150,000 km, 500,000 km and 1,000,000 km. Thankfully this car has led a much more pampered life having only covered 72,000 miles and has been serviced regularly, regardless of the low annual mileage. As you would expect the engine feels strong and the automatic gearbox changes smoothly giving a true Mercedes experience of grace and pace.

Interior

As you would expect from a low owner and mileage car like this the interior is in very good condition. The beige leather is without tears or unsightly marks and the carpets are in very good condition. The convertible roof works perfectly folding away into a compartment in front of the boot.

Road Test

The Mercedes W124 is very nearly unique in recent European motoring history. It is a full four seat convertible with a genuinely capacious interior. There is just no other car this side of a Bentley that provided this amount of occupant space, pace or comfort. There is an amazing air of solidity as you drive along, with little scuttle shake and the 124 gives you huge confidence. It is an immensely competent Grand Tourer and would happily transport you, your friends and luggage across a continent.

Other non standard spec includes: Rev limiter change light, rev clock, narrowed and adjustable front beam and CV performance drop spindles.

Model History

In the early 1950′s VW decided that their model range needed a bit of a lift. The Beetle and Type 2 Van were doing well, but there was a lack of sex appeal to the model range so they contracted Karmann, the German coach builders, to produce a 2+2 body for the mechanicals of the Type 1 Beetle. In turn Karmann contracted out the design of the car to Italian styling house Ghia who designed two bodies, a coupe and a convertible. The car was launched in 1955 and proved to be an instant success. With beautiful Italian styling, German build quality and of course those reliable Beetle under pinnings, proved to be a winning formula. The Karmann Ghia was never really a true sports car but it was a great looking coupe that could be run on a meagre budget which proved perfect for cash strapped and oil starved 1950′s Europe and America too.

As with other models, multiple changes were made to the Karmann Ghia throughout its lifetime. The most notable exterior changes came in 1961 including the car’s new wider, finned, front grilles, raised headlights relocation and rear tail light lenses which became taller and more rounded. Cars made from 1955 to 1959 are referred to as “lowlights” due to the lower placement of the headlights.
The Italian designer Sergio Sartorelli, designer of Type 34 or Razor Edge Ghia, took part in the various restyling of Type 14, until he went to work for Ghia. 1970 saw the introduction of larger tail lights integrating the reverse lights and larger wrap around turn signals in contrast to the earlier “bullet” style lights. In 1974, the Karmann Ghia was replaced by the Golf based Volkswagen Scirocco.

Exterior

Originally a hearing aid beige Karmann Ghia Coupe this car was restored between 1997 and 2000 to the amazing specification you see before you! The car was first registered in the UK and is an original right hand drive car. We know little about the scope of the bodywork required but a thorough inspection of the car shows that any body work that was necessary at the time was done to a high standard as was the Purple paint and custom art work which even 15 years on looks amazing. There is no structural rust or bubbling in the paint work and it presents in very good condition.

Wheels, Tyres and Brakes

The Purple monster is fitted with a full set of Porsche Fuchs alloy wheels with black centres and polished ‘petals’. They have 185/55 R15 Diplomat tyres at the front with approximately 4mm of tread and 185/80 R15 Khumo’s at the rear with over 5mm of tread. The brakes have had a check through during our inspection and are in good order. The Ghia has discs at the front and drums at the rear which stop it very effectively with a good prod on the middle pedal.

Engine and Transmission

The engine is a 2007cc unit with twin 44 IDF carburettors whose spec includes: A lightened fly wheel, ported and polished cylinder heads, Chevy rods and bearings, performance crank, full flow oil system and oil breather. It was built and installed into the custom engine bay by Harry Harper in 1998. The engine is very quick to fire for a high compression VW flat 4 and amazingly smooth at idle. It revs quickly and gives this Ghia serious performance.

Interior

The interior has had a refresh in recent years with a full set of Type 3 Detectives excellent Fat Biscuit Vinyl seats and door cards. These give good support and look the business. There is matching beige square weave carpet, a custom steering wheel, beige front seat belts and a Gene Berg shifter. There is a rev clock and limiter.

Road Test

Well, you are not going to buy this car if you are the shy and retiring type! In the few short journeys we have had in this car between the perpetual showers in our drought ravaged county have got a lot of attention from passing traffic. Underway it drives very well, despite being very low we haven’t had any issues around town and it handles and brakes very well. The engine is amazing giving barrel loads of torque and genuine performance. The gears are long and it cruises well above the legal limit on the motorway.

History File

This Volkswagen Karmann Ghia is an original UK supplied right hand drive car that has had a total of 4 keepers since its registration on the 7th August 1968. The car was purchased in 1992 as a Beige standard Karmann Ghia and restored to its current custom spec over the next 10 years or so. The car was repainted in 1997 and the flames and pin striping added in 1999. The car got its 2007cc engine (built by Harry Harper in 1998). As with a great deal of VW show cars there is little service history or invoices that have been kept for this car, but we know from our own projects that it would cost well over £20,000 to build a car like this. We have given it a full mechanical inspection and service to make sure it is in great condition for its next luck owner and will supply it with a full years MOT.

Model History

The Volkswagen Type 1 was produced from 1938 to 2003 and was the original ‘peoples car’. The popular nick name of ‘beetle’ is derived from its German name of ‘Kafer’ but the term was not used to describe the UK car until the Modern Beetle was launched in 1999. Fathered by Ferdinand Porsche the Beetle was designed to be able to carry two adults and three children at 100km/h and was available through a Third Reich Government saving scheme for 990 Reichsmarks which meant that it cost roughly the same as a small motorcycle, however before this scheme truly got off the ground war broke out and production was switched to manufacturing military vehicles. After the war the factory at Wolfsburg was handed over to the British and Americans and was due to be dismantled and shipped to England, however the British Government thought that the Beetle would be an uneconomic enterprise and it was left behind in Germany where a British officer named Ivan Hirst is largely credited for reinstating production in 1946. Over the following years the car was constantly developed, but retained its rear engined, air cooled architecture. The final Beetle ran off the Brazilian production line in 2003 by which time over 21 million cars had been produced.

Exterior

This 1965 VW Karmann Beetle Convertible was purchased from San Francisco by renowned VW builder Chris Morgan and fully restored to the show winning condition you see here in 2005.  Initially the car needed to be fully stripped and the body removed from the floor pan so it could be media blasted for the perfect base for a show vehicle.  With the chassis and bodywork back to bare metal the rebuild could be started. The floor pan was painted gloss black and suspension components powder coated before being bolted back on with Zinc plated components.  The body is finished in a bespoke blue metallic which is carried through to the inside of the vehicle, underside of the front and rear wings, engine bay and boot.  It is in stunning, show winning condition as is the chrome work, front and rear towel rail bumpers and bespoke rear luggage tray.  The hood is top quality, double duck affair which seals beautifully and is very well insulated.  This Beetle Convertible is simply stunning.


Wheels, Tyres and Brakes

The car is fitted with a set of chrome finish 15 inch Empi 5 spoke alloy wheels.  These have got a matching set of good quality tyres with a 135 profile at the front and a 215/65 at the rear.  The brakes are standard VW drums front and rear and were obviously rebuilt using new components during the restoration.  They work very well and stop the car efficiently.

Engine and Transmission

The engine has been rebuilt by VW specialists Volks Werks in La Habra to a very high specification. It runs a Gene Berg crank, Eagle 110 cams and stock heads breathing through twin down draft 40 IDF Weber carburettors.  All of the tin ware is finished in Satin black and there is a custom fire wall.  The engine bay is a work of art, as many of the ancillaries, pipe work and electric’s and linkages as possible have been moved behind the shroud.  There is also the oh so beautiful orange Fram oil filter to maintain the period look.  The gearbox has been modified by a company called KCR Transmissions with a 3.88 ring and pinion for better cruising ability.

Interior

The interior is a work of art.  Finished in Ivory Vinyl, it has a set of front reclining seats, matching steering wheel and door cards.  The switch gear is all bespoke as is the amazing pedal set, heater duct vents and two gauge holder under the dash. The carpets are German Square Weave in light beige and in beautiful condition.  There is a Gene Berg Shifter and four lap seat belts. The quality of the interior is just stunning and probably the best we have seen on a VW of any kind.

Road Test

There can be few cooler cars to cruise up to a meeting in or just blat around town on a sunny day. You can comfortably seat 4 people in a Beetle convertible and thanks to the modified engine and running gear this Cabrio performs like a much younger car than it is.

History File

This vehicles build has been documented twice in VW magazines. The first feature was by Dune Buggies and Hot VW’s in the USA in August 2006 when the build was completed and the second time when it was brought into the UK by its current owner in VolksWorld. Both features give a useful insight into the work that went into the build and the number of bespoke features that renowned VW enthusiasts and builder Chris Morgan put into the car. In the service history file there is a copy of both magazines as well as all of the MOT’s and service invoices since the vehicle entered the UK. There is also a birth certificate from VW.

Model History

In 1991 the XJ-S was significantly re-engineered and renamed XJS, these models are known as “facelift” cars but there was much more to the refinements than a mere nip and tuck. The rear side windows appeared enlarged (although the body glass aperture was actually the same size as the earlier car), and the buttresses stayed, as designer Geoff Lawson argued that they were part of the car’s character. The car received a new 4-litre version of the AJ6 and in 1992 a 4-litre convertible was added to the range.

The V12′s capacity was enlarged to 6 litres in May 1993 producing 304 BHP. At the same time the car benefited from a revision to the rear brakes, which were now fitted with outboard instead of the more complicated inboard items on previous models. With the introduction of the 6.0-litre V12, the transmission was also updated to a GM 4L80E with a 4th gear overdrive, whilst the automatic 4-litre models continued with the electronic ZF4HP24E transmission. A 2+2 convertible was also introduced, as was a customised insignia line. At the same time the car received more aerodynamic front and rear bumpers.

In April 1994 substantial revisions were made to the 4-litre AJ6 engine which became the 4-litre AJ16 with coil on plug ignition being amongst the most noticeable of the changes. In 1995, the final specification changes were made and the car was referred to as the Celebration model to celebrate the 60th year of the Jaguar company. Celebration cars are easily identifiable by the diamond turned wheels, Jaguar embossed seats and distinctive wooden steering wheel. These latest cars are the most desirable of all the later XJSs, especially the convertibles. The 6-litre V12 had all but disappeared by this time and was only available during the last year of production by special order. The XJS was discontinued in 1996, after 21 years in production being replaced by the very successful XK8.

Exterior

There are plenty of areas in a XJS that can give you heart ache as an owner but one of the most important areas is the body. On this particular car the panels are free from rust blisters, and having been carefully checked over seem to be original. There are no signs of repairs, botched or otherwise, and the paint finish is excellent. We have attended to a couple of minor bumper scuffs during our preparation and she presents in beautiful condition. the top side is only half the story on any car over 20 years old and we have given this car a through inspection on the underside especially around the sills, floors and bulkhead. The chassis is all very solid and nicely under-sealed The suspension components have also had a good clean up and appear to be in good order after fitting an off side rear king pin and bush assembly.

Wheels, Tyres and Brakes

The wheels are standard polished 5 spoke Jaguar alloys and are all in good condition. If you look very hard there are some small spots of spidering under the lacquer but they are a long way of needing a referb and are not noticed with out taking a really close look. The tyres are a matching set with plenty of life left in them and are all in very good condition in the side walls. During our preparation we overhauled the front callipers and fitted new front pads the discs should go another change and are in good condition as are the rear discs and pads.

Engine and Transmission

If you are after an XJS then these later 4.0 litre cars have the most reliable engine. It is a 6 cylinder AJ16 unit which is far less complex than the 5.3 or 6.0 litre V12 and does not suffer from the cooling issues of the bigger engine. It is also a great deal lighter putting less pressure on the front suspension and steering components. This car has a good service history and the engine fires easily settling down to an even idle as it warms through. It is a silky smooth unit which does not seem to be using any oil or water during the 200 or so miles we have driven her. We have just carried out a full fluids and filter service.

Interior

The interior is classic Jaguar with well padded Ivory leather seats, deep pile carpet and plenty of wood which always brings your blood pressure down and gets you in the mood for a cruise. All the interior equipment seems to be working well, the air conditioning certainly brings the incoming temperature down a degree or two, but as with all cars of this age take it as not working very well and you won’t be disappointed! As for the condition the interior bares out this cars relative low mileage and is all in very good condition.

Road Test

These cars provide one of the finest ways to cover distance in total luxury. It is smooth, fast and capable of covering continents with great ease. If you are looking for a weekend car that will make you and your occupant feel like a million dollars when you turn up in a hotel car park miles from home, with all your baggage safely stowed in the boot. Look no further.

History File

This XJS was first registered on the 11th April 1995 by Appleyard Jaguar Bradford and has an M**XJS number plate. It has had a total of 5 former keepers and an excellent service history with stamps in the original book at the following intervals:

3,601 miles – Appleyard Jaguar Bradford

Fiat 126 ~ £3,995

By 2 Comments


 

Details
Recorded Mileage 7,756 miles Date of Reg. 16th December 1983
Exterior Colour Cream Licence Status PLG
Interior Colour Brown Cloth Road Fund £165/Year
Technical Specification
Fuel Type Petrol Engine Output 23 BHP
Top Speed 70 MPH Engine Capacity 652cc
Transmission 4 Speed Manual Engine Config. Twin

Standard Equipment

4 Seats, 5 Steel Wheels, Wind-Up Windows errr……

Additional Equipment

This 126 is finished in Cream with Brown Cloth.

Model History

Introduced in 1972 at the Turin Motor Show the Fiat 126 was the successor to the legendary 500 with which it shared much of the same mechanical underpinnings and layout.  The all new body shell closely resembled a scaled-down 127 in Fiats bold styling move to bring their products bang up to date. In 1977 the engine capacity was increased from 594 cc to 652 cc when the cylinder bore was increased from 73.5 to 77 mm. The claimed power output was unchanged at 23 BHP, but torque was increased from 29 lb·ft) to 32 lb·ft

In Italy, the car was produced in the plants of Cassino and Termini Imerese until 1979. By this time 1,352,912 of the cars had been produced in Italy, however the car continued to be manufactured by FSM in Poland, where it was produced from 1973 to 2000 as the Polski Fiat 126p. The 126 was also produced under licence by Zastava in Yugoslavia.

Despite clever marketing, the 126 never achieved the frenzied popularity of the 500. The total number of 126 produced is : 1,352,912 in Italy, 3,318,674 in Poland, 2,069 in Austria, and an unknown number in Yugoslavia.

Exterior

This 126 has had light use and has obviously been kept undercover for most of its 28 years.  There is no structural rust to be found in the body with only one tiny blister under the drivers side rear window, otherwise the body panels are straight and have good shut lines and the paintwork is in very good condition.  The plastic bumpers, lights, glass and other trim are in similarly good condition.

Wheels, Tyres and Brakes

The 126 is fitted with a set of standard 12 inch steel wheels painted grey.  They are clothed in a matching set of 145/70/R12 tyres which were new when the vehicle came out of storage in September 2011.  The brakes are discs up front and drums at the rear and were similarly overhauled in September last year and remain in good condition.  They stop the 126 very effectively and the car does not pull to one side under hard braking.

Engine and Transmission

The little 650cc engine starts easily from cold with the choke pulled right out and no throttle.  As the car warms through the choke can be pushed closed and the idle drops to a steady thud ,thud.  It drives very well and all four gears (+ reverse) engage easily and without any nasty noises.

Interior

It is the interior of this car that helps confirm the low recorded mileage.  There is simply no damage or ware marks to be seen and all of the basic functions work as they did way back in 1983.  There is room for a 6 footer behind the steering wheel and seat belts for the front passengers.

Road Test

I have had a good run in this 126 driving it back from its South London home to the barn.  Round town you will find it very willing, springing away from the traffic lights and rattling up to 40 MPH with urge you didn’t think possible!  After that progress is relatively stately up to its maximum speed of 75 MPH, but it does cruise well on A roads and motor ways at 60 to 65 MPH.  In all the 126 is a great deal of fun round town with light steering, simple controls and an ability to fit in almost any gap.

History File

This 4 keeper car has lead a pretty sheltered life.  First supplied by Fiat agents D+J Motors of Milton Keynes, it had the archetypal 2 lady owners before D+J bought the car back in 2004 with just over 6,000 miles on the clock.  It then remained in their collection before being sold to its last owner in September 2011 with 6,668 miles on the clock.  Since September it has been pressed into daily service giving trouble free motoring around London.  The service history is sparse, but the condition of the vehicle speaks for its self. D+J Motors continue to trade as used car specialists and have confirmed the history of the car in a letter.
