So the old girl has been sold. In many ways I'll be sad to see her disappear at the end of the road.
:-? :o :( :-? :o :( :-? :o :( :-? :o :( :-? :o :( :-? :o :( :-? :o :( :-? :o :( :-? :o :( :-? :o :(

So the good news....I only lost about £4600 in total cost of ownership!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

And I've sold her to a Vicar, and she is off to live in London next Friday. :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

So let there be no tears..... :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

Now, just one more thing.

My sincere thanks to all of you who have assisted me in resolving all those issues that new minor owners have. I've been on here for a few years now, and the advice that you guys offer and the help that you give is second to none.

I will miss the old girl....who knows I might just return to Minor Ownership - it's been great!

All the best for the future!!!!!

Fond regards.

Shame to be moving away from Minor ownership - how on earth did it cost you £4600 over the years ??? Can only imagine you paid well over the odds originally..... Once the fuel consumption cost of that XJ6 sinks in - you WILL be back, I'm sure!!

Two MOTs alone cost me £500 and £350 for welding......

Plus the general upgrades and replacements parts over the 5 and a half years. Still I did 20k miles in her....so its only 23p a mile!

And the good Reverend picked up his new lady last night. She performed like a superstar as we whizzed around Worsley, and off he went to drive down to London.

Myself and my nine-year old daughter watched her disappear out of the road....there wasn't a dry eye.

I'm not for the moment. Acquired a 1992 VW Golf about 5 weeks ago, its got a genuine 33000 miles on and is ace.

Just flew through its' MOT too. Waiting to pay the bill for my Lan Cruiser repairs (some £700 :-? ), and rotating use for travelling between the Chrysler and the Golf.

Though I did look through all 3000 classic cars on ebay this evening........ :D :D :D :D :D
