Would be worth 4k at a dealer, considering the legal risk they take of the customer coming back, if they spent a morning fixing all the minor faults instead of simply listing them.

This 1989 motorcar looks okay, a little rougher than the Barge, but with quite good provenance.

If it went for 3 to 4 grand that would probably be fair.

I wonder what the buttons are on the horn push!🤔 Extra gauges too.

Good project for someone perhaps.

No MOT for twelve years though!🤨

Now that would make a nice project for someone. It could qualify as an historic vehicle (and so be tax free) straight away, but it has not been registered as such yet, so the seller probably doesn't know about that.

The electrical problem would not take long to fix, and I think Dave is right that the flat paint would respond well to being cut and polished; the brightwork would probably come up okay as well and the wheels need a repaint (but they are steel, so easy to do oneself). It could be made nice for a grand in repairs and recommissioning (but I disagree with the seller that it is a potential show winner; well, anything could be a potential show winner if it had enough money spent on it, but it wouldn't be worth investing so much in this cooking apple).

I'd say it would be a good buy at £2,000 to £3,000 then worth 5 grand with the faults fixed, the recommissioning work done, polished up and with the historic vehicle premium. One wouldn't make a fortune but there might be a grand or so profit if someone was interested in doing the work themselves.

I like this motor car and would probably buy it if I was already settled in Zummrezette.

Anybody fancy a Jag needing a little bit of work?
