I know I couldn't sell her either if it was mine but he's had heaps of them,he's still got some nice rides
Al did your mate sell the turquoise & white one to someone in Sydney. I'm sure I've seen one at Palmie coupla times & oggled it, but by time I got my phone he'd gone. Damm nice unit.
Man, what i saw on the highway just coming into Sydney the other day. Beautiful rods (2) on side of the road with hood up on one, boards on top, incredible pearl blue paint job, timber panels, big blown motor, couldn't stop, couldn't take pic!! You could see the sun reflecting off the paint 1k away dirving towards them. Just beautiful.

"68" mate that's our new number, love it 
That looks really nice Ted and for what's wrong with it only seems very minimal to me,maybe just the air cond compressor or even better some seals have worn out(cheaper).Bloody oath mate ,she's a groovy surf car for sure,nice set of Rola's and a board on em,Beeeaaauuutiful,cruiser .BTW what year model is it
Select to expand quoteTed the Kiwi said..
XJ6 1985.
85,ah ok,and it's a Sovereign to,love it
Ted get an Auto Sparky to suss out the Fuse Compartment - there'll be a big one for the Air-Con ..... could be located under the Bonnet being a UK job
Check all of them anyway too - give her a total replacement of the little meanies given her age

Good advice Pup,I'm not right up on British mobiles but the Auto Sparky places will also pump the refridgerant into it and see where the leaks or problems are coming from!...
Thanks for the advice fellas - I am still trying to convince the lady that this is a poor way to spend money
