That's because MGB's were and are complete crap.  0 to 60 in a little less time than an England cricket innings
Well, whatever, nevermind

Why do I get the feeling that showing this to BM is going to be a bad idea...  scared2:

Last service cost 62 k........... eeek: eeek: eeek: Shocked:  WTF ..
Jeez is it really nearly 30 years since Jaguar produced that white elephant?

That'd be a no bid from me then

Quote
A white elephant is a possession which its owner cannot dispose of and whose cost, particularly that of maintenance, is out of proportion to its usefulness.

I suppose, given that it has only covered 23,000km and the last service was €62,000 that is a pretty accurate description...  rubschin:

...unless he sells it of course...  ;)
