So You Want a V8 Ninety?
I don't think you will find a better example than this, but you will need deep pockets:

I picked up a Jaguar XJC with just over 800 miles on it about 10 years ago ,the one owner from new said he "didn't have time to drive it" in all the years he had it where did he go just to cover 800 miles !Very nice V8 90 but what would you do with it the Jag got sold to a collector never to be seen again.

Nicely written advert. Though not sure that the caravan and polish brand names are enough to make me buy it.

A spunk load of money, but compared to this below, as advertised as an investment, the v8 90 is about £40k too cheap.

The seller has a reputation locally for charging like a wounded rhino. I went and looked at a P38 he had years ago- there were better for a good deal less.

I very much doubt you will get a better early V8 Ninety County Station Wagon in this condition and with this mileage for a good deal less.

If you see one, let me know! (I can dream Laughing)

As Legin implies, it is now probably more of a collector's piece than a daily driver.


Nonetheless, I hope it is looked after by a future owner.

I quick search on this forum about detailing, polishing and cleaning would soon prove him wrong Laughing For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

I quite like that, but a motor that costs so much and with such low mileage, what would you do with it?
For me, I'd be very reluctant to actually use it and clock up any more miles because that's surely where it's value is, so other than a museum or private collection, what's the point?

I would imagine difficult to find another in that condition with such a low mileage. One for the classic car shows and to take out on a sunny day. I like it but white isn’t my choice of colour for a Ninety/One Ten/Defender.

I'd expect it to have front mud flaps for that money, so that impeccable white paint stays that way for at least 3-4 minutes!

Dare say that's close to you James.

However there are a number of things wrong with it, from a rivet counter's POV.


And 205 tyres on a One Ten!

Yes 205’s on a One Ten look silly as does the bull bar. There are a few things to correct if you wanted to be spot on wrt originality. Not sure how easy it would be to find the correct badge on the grill panel or the correct front seat bases. It’s a nice thing though, clean, tidy and useable. I would be happy to have it on the drive.
