That's a bugger Brett. Was looking forward to seeing it all cleaned up.

A bit of delusional grandeur by the family. That car will stay where it is unloved for years as no one else will give them an offer on a let’s face it a Jaguar model that was never a popular one in the first place. Especially a V12 with strombergs. Move on with your stable of great Jaguars and give them all some love. Another Jaguar will appear as they always do and you can get that instead.

Thanks for the positive comments

Beautiful car that DD6 VDP. What a shame you lost it.

Mr. White sounding great. Wish she was in NZ!

That is a sad story with the Daimler, was really looking forward to it. That is life, I guess and it is moving forward.

That’s a shame there TJM. Sorry to hear of this loss. I was really really looking forward to your working over the VDP V12. A classic beauty they are, I love the V12’s. There will be a silver lining though - there always is.

Been really enjoying your videos Brett. Recently discovered you and Subscribed. Sorry to hear VDP sale fell through. But you a very positive fella, onwards and upwards. I always think if these things are meant to happen everything falls into place. If not, probably for best. Great to have a Aussie perspective on old Pommy stuff. Cheers.Peter in Tassie.

Hi Peter Thanks for watching and your support!

Very sorry to see. Poor form from middle kid. Especially when a deposit was paid.

Wishing I could have a Dr Jag in my area, in Canada. I have to be my own Dr Jag! :)

I'm gutted, so sorry to hear they fucked you over. I was looking forward to seeing more of that DVP.

Enjoyed the video, blooper was great 👍

Are you sure that replacement engine mount wasn’t “Used Old Stock” ? 😊 Lovely XJ-C… good that you used the disappointment as motivation to refresh the fleet !

Thanks David Yes, got my deposit back

Great memories for me Mr TJM

Might have been a blessing in disguise I’ve been bitten bad with double six’s my XJC was a 4.2 manual with overdrive British racing green with tan leather it was a 1976 I bought it 84 dirt cheap then as nobody wanted them in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 UK £400 had many jaguars best one was my mark 2 3.8 automatic belonged to chivas regal the whisky 🥃 company paisley 43 thousand miles from new I bought it in 1977 for £750 pounds beautiful car wish I had kept it worth a few Bob now

Hard luck with the VDP mate. Not to rub it in, but have you seen Iain Tyrrell's video on a beautiful VDP a couple of years ago? ✌️

Mr. White's a handsome old guy. He's aged well!

You should have paid the money, got the receipt, put it on a transporter.......and ran!😁

Tell me about it 😔

I think every Jaguar or car enthousiast knows how it feels when a car that you like to buy or have bought isn't going to be yours after all for some reason. It sucks big time because you fell already in love with the car. However, i am sure you will find another nice Jag in the future, although they are really getting rare, well over here anyways.

Thanks mate It's not the first time either

Pretty low act by the VDP owner. A holding deposit is an agreement and should be honoured. Some people have no integrity.

Often good things come from failures, I find something better comes a long.

That VDP deserved your stewardship... a shame relly... they do pop up from time to time....i'll keep an eye out

After seeing that you have a beautiful two door I don't feel so sorry for you not getting the VDP, the dogs wotsits! I made the mistake once of agreeing a sale on a tidy little Standard 10 for silly low money, paid a deposit then went to get the balance, don't know why (guilty conscience) I said to the seller that would understand if someone came up with a better offer..... an hour later he sold it to a chap who offered double... doh! I won't do that again?

Nothing really, maybe just a little less restriction. They just look better.

I'm assuming you got your holding deposit back Brett without any issues?

😢Gutted for you bret but its meant to be mate and maybe it's done you a favour, something else will turn up fella

When we went to buy our first Mk2 we found a lovely 3.4 MOD on CWWs. It was OEW with a light tan interior so would have been ideal on hot summer's days. We left a deposit & arranged to return the next day with the rest of the cash. A couple of hours after getting home we received a phone call from the seller informing us he had sold the car to someone else for a few dollars more. We were not happy & after that experience my husband carried a huge wad of cash so we could pay the full amount & take the car away there & then.
