Default My first Sovereign will be parted out



I took the decision to have my 1992 4.0l Sovereign dismantled/scrapped/parted out (don't exactly know the right wording for nomore driving her).

The car was running well (still true but a few months in a car park) but I can't afford to maintain her in good and running state.

Around 200 k kms.

Location of the car is Brittany France (a very pleasant area to make tourism!)

In case some of you - Jag lovers - have needs, the parts will be available; I will probably keep some for the Daimler, like headlamps.

Cheers

Hi CHELMI,

I understand that maintaining the car may not make financial sense to you, but since it runs, is it possible you could find a buyer who was interested in driving and maintaining it? 200K kms / 124K miles seems low, considering how many XJ40s have done more than 325K kms / 200K miles.

You might make more money parting it out but that will take time, possibly months, and another Jaguar will be gone forever.

Cheers,

Don

Thanks Don for your comment; The objective is not to make money; finding a buyer is not easy as the model is not so much desired in France (my feeling). Any way I will give it a try.
Cheers
