It was a R type V6 so I presume cost a few bob new. Another vehicle probably deemed by most to be superior to the xm. Not in my opinion....even the column switches and fixtures and fittings didnt have the quality the xm has....in a car that preceeded it by best part of 10 years 
Did the paintwork....west sanded out some big scratches, and restored the faded plastic headlight lenses
Here is a quick picture run through of the job....the earnings have paid for a new TV after ours gave up the ghost.....just what we needed after Linda is let go from her job this week
Im on the lookout for work people....need the extra income etc, so feel free to give people my number to get in touch
Number is on my blogsite pallasautorefinishing@wordpress.com
Oh Yeah!!!!! Im looking forward to that job on sunday. Ive also got a guy on who wants his Jag XK8 doing...he contacted me a while back, I didn't see his message in time, so he decided to use someone else, they cocked it up and now he wants me to put it right.... 
Not many early ones around though either so worth cleaning it up some
