Is it worth the asking price?
I love Marinas, but I can't have one. Instead, I'm the proud owner of "Lily", a Jaguar XJS from Coventry Rainforest, England.

Not a very honest description in the advert then. Only 150 miles since last MOT Forgot to mention took it for another one and it failed very badly on body rot. Seen many similar adverts both on Gumtree and Ebay complaining about time wasters think he is a vendor that falls into that category
