Got to love a Zagato

Harry's Daimler Double 6 Coupe went for £140k today, slightly over it's £60k-£80k guide price.
It was an XJC, but still! That must be the highest price for an xjc ever. I did like it very much, and I’d think he’s maybe even earned a shilling on it.
You are of course correct it’s a Jaguar XJC my mistake.
Just realised he was the year below me at school, didn’t know him well. I lived about half a mile from his place. Small world.
I love a Lancia Fulvia. I had one from 1981 to 1986 when I got tail ended by a tennis coach from Oswestry, mine was a 1300S3 coupe.

I've been following both his farming and motor channel avidly. Delighted to see that he got a good price for the jag. His series on that resto was excellent and done without consideration on future return. Stunning car.
We were at the NEC Classic yesterday, only viwed the auction compound from the outside but there’s a really good mix of cars there and in the dealer area.
There were a good number of cars that only had a few thousand miles from new, and I can’t help thinking they’d be a much better buy than a fugly £50k EV or hybrid with its full nanny state systems.
A couple of very low miles Jaguar XJ’s, 90’s or early 2000’s, were £10k! Now I know there’s running costs but if it lasted 2 years it’s cheaper than the depreciation on any EV, and what a magnificent thing to drive around in. I had an XJR in the 90’s, absolutely lovely thing and a proper fast car.

The estimate was £60-£80k and it was reported as selling for £140k.
I wonder what his Lambo’ will sell for?
£132,750
I think that was closer to guide. Are the final sale prices up somewhere now?
That was the sale price with commission
I once had a 1995 XJ Sport in rare manual form. Out of the approx 250 cars I have owned its in my top 10. Made when they were on top form. Nothing went wrong with it other than the cd auto changer dropping connection.
It handled great yet rode like only a Jag can. The manual made it lots of fun and the 3.2 straight 6 was a n incredible engine, had a lovely kick at higher rpm and sounded so good.

Trouble is, most likely you can't drive into any low emissions zone in one of those beauties..
Vehicles classed as ‘historic’ (min 40 years old) or any vehicle built before 1973 is exempt the London ULEZ charge - so you could run an XJS if it was old enough.
I think everything over 40 years old is exempt. Could be wrong. Even if not, I guess you can still pay to drive in,
wtf

Unless nasty labour interfere as they consider classic cars as something owned by people 'with broad shoulders'
I ran a face-lift XJS for a year, lovely car to drive once a simple steering mod is completed. I prefer the classic look of the original XJS but they do require more work to run.
