Hi all. I have 2 engine serial numbers, beginning with PA & PB. Is there a way to tell what model of engine they are please to find out the engine size?

That was my Thinking. He must of been more proactive with the car rather than reactive. Hence why the MOT has never had a significant issue. I’ll reach out to Rustbusters and get a rough cost. thank you for your help it’s been greatly appreciated

Exactly! The MOT states the opposite side, and that side appears to look OK ( Nearside floor pan attached) so you’d suggest the offside floor pan looks bad, but the Rustbusters could resolve the issue? Is it worth seeing if the is any Rust underneath the carpet? overall, £3500 fair price? Taking into account this, mileage and no documented history for a long time?

Thanks for that, I did check the MOT and notice that. The ABS light came on again the other day but it has been sat for awhile; it’s now cleared again. with regards to the rust, that photograph was taken by me today, so that is the current state. If I was told welding had been done, and it’s disappeared off the MOT completely, how come it still looks that way?

R566DOX. Thanks for this really appreciate it. It failed first time for Corrosion but I don’t think that’s the same as on photo? they did say that some welding has been done. But again it felt sturdy and imo I felt that the previous owner would have rectified it it’s an issue. But can also see how it’s easy for them to pass it off.

The lowest price is also £3500

The cars not long ago passed its MOT with no advisories. is the rust on the front floor pan concerning? sorry I am very novice. The Sills felt sturdy in person

I’m a complete novice when it comes to car maintenance etc. the bodywork was immense, hardly an imperfection. No knocking noises, low revs, started first time etc. There’s no Rust on the body or wheel arches. However I did film underneath. It looked ‘ok’ to my eye (I’m not an expert by a long shot). One particular piece looked quite rusted. I’ve added some photo, what do you think?

Hi All. i’ve found a 1998 4.0L XK8 that I’m interested in done 162k, Blue, non convertible. car looks pristine inside and out. The previous owner was an Engineer for 20 years and treated it as his “baby”. Unfortunately he’s passed and that’s the reason for the sale from the family. because he was an engineer he appeared to have done all this own servicing, repairs, Upgrades etc, but there is no paper trail of what was done. The last Stamp was 2015 Can anyone give any advice on this? What’s best to do with the sale and purchase? thanks
