no not "that" one




Bought this from Broster, one owner (brosters missus family), pretty clean, obvuiosuly broster drove it, and killed the engine

SVM drove it back in a 6 hour round trip from northampton at under 3k rpm otherwise it had a death knock, with no radio, falling asleep a few times

bought an XE from R1CH on here, i cleaned it up, replaced every gasket bar the head gasket, Lee Mitchell fitted it (cheers mate) sorted

got a few things to do like sort an airfilted, tidy up and waxoil a few bits, and get the radio to work

the idea is to save £££ on towing J18 everywhere on a flatbed (which is lots) and also use it for the track car

cav look's tidy, no stop messing with these other project's, and get J18 done
