Sc 430 Hibernating For The Winter

[alphacat]

I have been wondering what to do with my SC430 this winter. Don't really want to use it much or tax it. Noticed the mileage was on 70300 (I bought it with 56000 on) and it surprised me.

So I think I will SORN it at the end of this month.

We have two cars and just don't use them.

As we want to go down to one car and my Jag is getting old we will probably get a new or new(ish) car next spring.

The SC430 just doesn't fit the bill although I would like to keep it. Not enough room in the boot for our luggage when going on holiday and the back seats are now just uncomfortable for my daughter (who has grown amazingly) ....

Just in case I decide to sell it (and reluctantly I suppose we may do) I took some pics today while the sun was out.

Should have spent more time on it but.....

Its a MK 2 6 speed Nov 2005 but low tax (it must have been one of the first Mk2s). That should be attractive if I do sell it.

Love this car.. Had it two and a half years and never realised how good they are when I decided on impulse to buy it.. Its had very little wrong just some O2 sensors and a new back exhaust system and finishers. Spending time with my daughter cruising around the Yorkshire moors with the roof down has been memorable.. Great car. It deserves a rest.

Wow what a beautiful car. I know I'll never be able to afford one of these, but I can still dream

Well it looks even better polished (just gave it a quick wash) Inside is in very good condition. Very few marks as I had all stone chips dealt with a year or so ago. I should really change the number plate as someone tried to take off the English flag !! I don't like EU plates.. I think these cars are about the best value for money you can get in a used car. That's why I bought it and its gin=ven me so many more reasons with ownership. You can even get mk1 s for around £6000 these days.

Life is too short to drive a boring car..

Hi Peter,

Did you sell the car or do you still have it? Am possibly looking for one and am just up the road from you.
