Guess the British built car.

I reckon you're close

The one in the picture is a XJ-S Glenholme Special. Whether there's a difference between Glenholme and Glenfrome, I don't know.

 

2nd ones an rs2000.

 

That's it. One of my school friends Dad owned it when new, I spotted it in this rather sad state on eBay a few months ago

 

It was this silver one I was thinking of. When I saw it a few years ago it was two-tone blue/silver.

Here's the brochure on the green car.

Not that great on old MG's but reading your profile and a bit of googling I would say an MG L2?

 

I like your research methods.....yes; 1933 MG L2 Magna

 

1933 L2 Magna to be precise. Good spot.

 

Ooops, I was too slow!

 

we were probably both typing at the same time....

 

One from me shouldn't be that hard

 

Looks very like Bentley Mulsane wheels!

 

I believe you're right but that is not what they are attached too.

 

Camargue.

 

Indeed it is . Taken at the Classic car boot sale in the Southbank a week or so ago

 

Glenfrome did two, the silver with butress and the green one without, both had about 8" added to the wheelbase and were genuine four seaters then.

The silver one appears lost but the green one is in store, still less than 60k miles and is a manual 3.6 with very nice interior, good mechanics and drives but big bodywork task.

 

it may well be saved, at moment in a secure store, drives well and starts ok,
60k miles since new, very clean inside but a touch ugly but original.
body work needs a lot of work plus the roof is an issue re how made and off what material until it stripped of it is guesswork.

thought you may like an update, it is a 3.6 manual, 1986 or so re original registration now fixed to car.

 

Any history or facts re the Green XJS would be greatly appreciated, i bought it to save it from being scrapped, it is now stored.

 

Unfortunately my school friend's Dad is no longer with us, I think he was the first owner though, and lived in Ashtead in Surrey. He was a Jaguar fan and also had a stock XJS at the same time.
