Default Can't Just Have One: My New 1986 XJ-SC with 58,000 Miles

This beauty sat at a roadside dealership for three months, advertised as an 'XJ SC Coupe'. Initially I sent the dealer an email informing him of his mistake - with no response. Three months later I took it home for $4,000 instead of the advertised $6,995. Original 58,000 Miles, no rust, a few golf ball dings, runs but needs a tune-up, drives great, brakes but needs the brakes gone through. I grinned all the way home. Now my cheeks hurt.

On the ground it is snow, on a convertible it is a discount. :-)

Good looking Cabby Andreas, I've seen you have already been in touch with Bleasie at XJ-SC Register.
