aye I read about that a little while back - seems like a waste, although maybe the most valuable thing on it was the chassis plate!???

b*nger racing came up on here a while back, and I was swiftly deluged with irate b*nger racers wanting to have their own rant on here, one or two being really quite unpleasant.

Yeah, I believe the chassis plate is the most valuable thing!

Some guy I know from another forum bought a very nice S1 XJ6 a while back from a racer as it was too good to race.

Words fail me!
If anyone knows of a XK in similar condition (pre-race) i know someone who has cash waiting..he would prefer a restoration project as he enjoys the restoration process.
