Very nice indeed. However, £21000 seems way too expensive for a 2006 Jag.
My 2006 CLS 500 Merc cost almost £70000 when new yet fetched just £6350 when I sold it......FMBSH the lot. :'( :'( :'(

Mileage ;)

Even so, Mr dbug.   £21000 is a lot of dosh  :y

Although not directly comparable, it might be worth putting the registration number and specification into WBAC and see what they come up with should you fall on hard times.  :y

I did this with the Merc and  they were about £600 short of what I actually achieved.

It is a beauty though. :y

Just a thought, Mr dbug, but £21000 would secure you just about the best TR6 available. :y

An appreciating asset to boot. :y

Tempted? ::) ::)

No already ran a TR6 for a couple of years - this was my '69 PI which I had in the very early 70s

 

And while I love TRs - it ain't the same as a Jag (loved my old E-type more than my 6)

Yes..... But the sophisticated suspension system on the TR6 would give a much smoother ride. :o :o :o :o ;D

For the record Autocar magazine recorded zero to sixty in 8.2 seconds.........The TR6 was pretty quick for 1969. :y

Yep - clocked mine 0 - 60 @ 7.8 secs. Now the E-type around 6.5 secs ;)
