Why is it that things like this come up when you have just convinced yourself that you are right to do a V8 conversion and save thousands.scratchchin
To be honest if this had been advertised before I bought the s to convert, I would definately have gone for it.

He is not wrong about the drivers seat looking tired. Also have you noticed how the cunningly only Put the 'J' of the registration on the details yet leave it in the photo! Clever.

I think you'll find that eBay automatically blanks out reg details not done by the seller

The reg thing was done by Ebay, I should know, It's my car :-)

And the drivers seat is a bit dead, but still remarkably comfortable.

Go on, you know you want it :-)

Thanks Ian but I am happy with my S3. Still I agree with others looks like a bargain and I am sure you sill have some takers. Incidentally why Ebay instead of PH site? Or did you do that too?

I did Pistonheads last month, at a higher price, but decided on Ebay this time as its a huge market, time will tell if I get any interest, its priced cheaply becasue the market is a bit slow, and I do need to sell her, shame though, its been a cracking car.

Is the interior doeskin colour? (in the front of the owners handbook)

If you or anyone else is interested I will be selling my S doeskin seats when I have confirmed the Jag ones I have fit OK.

It is a well priced car Ian, looks good for the money.

I think that is the right colour, and I will definately be interested if she doesn't sell.

Is it just that the seat has collapsed? If so Adrian Venn can supply new cushions and webbing if need be

The leather is in a bad way, I think replacement seats are the way forward, assuming I keep the car of course. preferably S seats, but the Chime seats look pretty good.

Difficult to say regarding the colour from photos but Chim seats fit in an S but I guess you know that.

Chris, this car may look a little odd to you as it is not the version that comes in 375 pieces....
