Over five years ago I saved a 2011 L322 4.4TDV8 from the breakers and spend a small fortune on putting a new engine in it and documented it in here….it was a hell of a challenge and I loved it, that car went on to be my daily driver for many years…..with the full disapproval of my wife I have taken on another project to save an L322 from the breakers; this time a 2011 5.0 SC from Copart… thought it might be useful to share again on here….to be continued…..

It was a tense auction and a total gamble…..it was sold as running and moving, but clearly was in an auction for a reason; so won it, and paid for it and awaited delivery. This was my first Copart purchase……

Looking forward to this…..😁 2012 Orkney Grey Westminster 4.4TDV8 with Ivory interior.........nice!

Hi,

For some context would you mind sharing roughly what it cost you? Outwardly it looks quite straight.

Will be very interesting to see how it pans out, does it have any accident history recorded?

Jon

This will be interesting. Looking forward to your updates! Des

What did the advert say was wrong with it?

Today, I've just done over 200 miles in my 5.0 that was a project 12 months ago to. They really are fantastic cars when sorted properly. 2002 4.6 Vogue SE - Alveston Red with Lightstone Leather

Following this with great interest as this is an avenue I'll be taking should I not find a 5.0SC elsewhere...

Well done for taking the leap and really looking forward to seeing it unfold positively  Gavin
