Okay, I didn't stay long or take many pictures. The XK8 was down to $3395 when I left. The '81 TR8 had some small rust spots but didn't look to be in too bad shape. The TR7 with the Chevy V6 looked like a clean install, paint was a bit rough and the headlights were missing the bezels.

Cheap XK8 if the nikasil engine is OK, the plastic secondary timing chain tensioners replaced with metal ones, black plastic water pump replaced with white plastic and plastic thermostat cover replaced with metal one. You'd want to get a compression check before money changed hands.

Jag could almost be a bargain at that price ........

Jim,

Sorry I missed seeing you there. The TR8, other than the little rust spot, was pretty interesting, being an '81 with FI and AC. It belongs to Brian of Brian's British, who helped me sort my 4-barrel last week.
