Father's trusted retirement car has failed it's test on grot... 2 sills, and "a bit at the back".
Local scrappers have offered £150, but it's genuinely too good to break.
So, there any worth as a fixer/donor car/drift slag?
Deets are thusly;
2001 Jaguar s type on 110k miles
Auto, had new box 2 years back.
3.0 v6 which is the ford unit, and runs well. 200+ bhp from memory?
Car is midnight blue, paintwork is "fair". No show queen, but equally, presentable. He washed and polished it weekly.
Full cream leather interior, electric everything.
As dad's not mechanically active any more, he's reliance on garage labour, means that he's seeing quotes of well over a grand to sort.
Needs a drop link too, and oil change.
So he's faced with a £1500 bill to keep a £1k car or.
Finally, it was cat D last month after a bus reversed into it. The damage? A scuffed bumper and one grille fin bust. But the bus company forced it via insurance,and car was w/o.
Suggestions welcomed.
