$50,000 Series 1
Wow, is this guy dreaming! Most I have heard of anyone paying for a Series 1 is 18,000 and that car had over $50,000 spent on it.

Here is a more realistic price, but it has been for sale for as long as I can remember.
That must tell the seller the price is too high.

The white XJ is priced with one too many 0s at the end... Fireball was in better condition just after the fire brigade had given her a wash!
The blue XJ is more realistic, but both cars seem to have a non working handbrake, as they are in 1st gear for the photos.
But hey... God loves a tryer.

That house being renovated in the background of the White xj6 is in Sackville Street Kew, not far from where I live.
I see a couple of S1, S2 & S3's out and about pretty regularly, but I can't say that I have seen that one.
He's not dreaming, he just thought that it was April Fool's Day :-)
Cheers,
Nigel

before I bought my car I looked at 5 or 6 series 1 cars that were for sale in a 200 mile radius. Good ones are getting hard to find and I have heard stories of clean cars being exported back to England and Europe because demand is high and rust free examples are hard to find.Maybe high prices are a sign of things to come.

This one had a ground up restoration of more than $50k and was for sale for $25k. A forum member paid $18k for it.
We can live in hope.
Here is another dreamer, I have seen this car and it looks better in the photos. It has a very odd looking XK engine.

Odd looking XK engine if it were an XK engine.
Small Block V8 from where I'm looking.
As to the rest of the car? Looks like it has been chopped and changed a lot.
Wheels, Steering wheel, Front Grille, Pedals, Air horns, plus everything else under the bonnet which has been moved -Brake Fluid Reservoir- apart from that looks pretty factory standard

We thought a $5000 car,max. Many S1-2-3's around in a lot better shape and all asking $3-$10k.
Third listing shown. Lumped auto, not XK 4.2 manual.
