Only time will tell though but I should know by tomorrow lunchtime.

Evening Brian,
I'm not a fan of Chatsworth either, the premium bumper I could live with, however it cost a £1000 when it was ordered from the factory!!
I did like the beige leather "cream" interior though and the automatic was superb.

Monogram Chatsworth is a lovely colour but then again I would say that, wouldn't I

Yes I would expect you too, however you do like Moon stone Green aswell.

Never been a fan of any gold coloured car, and had only owned one in 40 years until I bought my ZT in Chatsworth. Didn't really like or dislike it, but it was at a good price, and the p/x on my S Type Jag was too good to miss. Over time, I have come to appreciate it more, perhaps it is more suited to ZTs than the 75s, and it is very easy to keep clean because it never looks dirty! Also, I think the interior colour helps - mine is black alcantara, which mirrors its sporty image.

Yes. Having seen the original bill of sale I think that is just about correct.

Was this the car that Chris Watkins of Wakefield sold on Ebay? I just remember a Chatsworth with £5K of extras. I could not find it on Ebay so perhaps my memory is not so good these days.

Yes I think the car may have been sold by Chris Watkins in the past however it is for sale on Gumtree now. Regards David
