Bought another coupe! (Pic's added)
      Got it late yesterday from Jaguar Land Rover in Ventura. Its owner wanted a MiniCooper. It's Smoke Silver, creme beige interior, a 1990 car, lifetime So Cal Car, 89,002 miles, ALWAYS garaged, only 2 owners, the first an old lady that got it new from Jim Slemons Mercedes (now Fletcher Jones in Newport Beach) who died, and it was discovered in her garage in 2002 with 35k on the clock, and the next owner lived in Malibu and had it. Now mine. Now that I have detailed it, and cleaned it up and examined the records I found out that aside from an air filter, it needed NOTHING. Totally turnkey, and runs out great, on Hwy 126 yesterday had a race with a WRX and went over 120 and beat him, and it pulled the Grapevine to Bakersfield just fine. I have the VMI from Mercedes Benz of Valencia, the Carfax, the russian website vin check and California smog history. All checks out, a lifetime lo mi So Cal car without issues. Very good expenditure for 6800. Original Calif plates paid to March 2010. I like the color too. The old lady that first owned it paniced one day backing out of the gragae and made a scrape on the front door and sent back and forthe and made it worse. Other than that it's virtually mint. So Cal has the best of the best examples.

Picking up the car at the Jaguar Land Rover dealer in Ventura CA
   The engine bay was not detailed yet when I got the car.  Tom was the Jaguar salesman who put together the deal.   Getting ready to leave the Jaguar dealer. I would drive one away the other would be delivered the next day
