Class 55 Deltic train ?

If he had that he would almost certainly then have CitroJim as a permanent fixture houseguest!

[bobins]

CitroJim wouldn't be the only one !

[Hell Razor5543]

If he runs out of guest bedrooms he can always put them up in the Mercedes!

Merc G-Wagen?

[Hell Razor5543]

Chieftain tank (with the Rolls Royce engine and gearbox, not the BL one!)?

Jaguar XJS V12?

Bingo!

Never thought I'd have the chance to try one, so definitely wasn't going to turn it down. Give it a few years and they'll be utterly beyond reach.

Should be interesting.

My former flatmate had Jags for a number of years which I helped out with the upkeep of, so I am going into this with eyes open as to how many interesting and expensive ways this is likely to go wrong!

First car I'll have had with more than four cylinders...

[Hell Razor5543]

Yay!!! Mind you, I wonder how many gallons to the mile it achieves?

[Michel]

I think the youngsters would say "OMFG"..

This XJS is a bit different;

I'm guessing 15mpg is a good day. Single digits around Milton Keynes most likely.

I don't do huge miles though so honestly not worried about that too much. May well wind up not keeping it for a hugely long time...but it was far too good an opportunity not to seize with both hands!

[Michel]

I take my hat off to you sir, and defer to your madnesty. I thought I was bad, but you beat me hands down. There is very little I wouldn't drive or own, but this is one of the few vehicles in that list.

Well done that man!

[Zelandeth]

In all honesty it's not something which had been even remotely on my radar...but when the opportunity turned up it seemed foolish to turn down.

Photos and video will follow if/when it happens.
