Hi guys,
some might know of my situation in which I posted when I joined a few months ago. I've been looking for an Automatic Vit for quite some time and after alot of hunting, I found this on eBay this week. I had to travel a fair distance to pick it up, but I absolutely love it!
It's a 1993 K reg JLX, and it came with tax until November and MOT until May 2011. Previous MOTs and various other paperwork, also it came with a brand new headunit which has built in bluetooth for hands free calling and music playing from an mp3 player, iPod connector, cd player and sd card slot/usb socket.
I'm very pleased with it, a little more than I was looking to pay out for one but i've had it checked out by two mechanics today and both put my mind at rest and seems a nice example of one.
Anyway, I hope you like the pic... just need to go and get it a little muddy next weekend |

Looks good, I wish we could get hoods (bonnets) with scoops over here in Canada. I think they look awesome! |

Thanks guys, I love it. Been out today in it, a bit concerned at the window tints as I know that the fronts maybe illegal. The backs are very dark but the two front side windows are a little bit on the darkside aswell so might just remove them later on |

I used to have a black Mitsubishi GTO that had all it's windows blacked out.
It looked awesome but was a right pain in the backside at night, you just couldn't see enough through the side windows.
I removed it eventually and was a lot happier. _________________ Alan

If your worried just remove the fronts, it would still look cool. _________________ There not canoes more of a snorkel and aero aid rolled into one |

Hi, nice motor.
On the note of the tints, the current laws would deem the front windows as illegal and may land you a fine or even points if pulled....i am a window tinter by trade and the windows have to have a minimum of 70% visible light transmission and a standard window has about 85% so virtually anything you put on it will make it too dark.....
Cheers

Hi, welcome. Very pretty but you're right, the paintwork does need some MUD to finish it off proper |
