🚗💚 CAR OF THE WEEK — JAGUAR S-TYPE 2.7 DIESEL

Now THIS is a bit of a crying shame… 😢

This week’s Car of the Week at Scrap My Car Lymm is this rather lovely Jaguar S-Type 2.7 Diesel.

Although, when it arrived, you’d be forgiven for thinking we’d accidentally collected a very large garden ornament. 😂

It had been standing for quite some time and was absolutely covered in green algae and general British weather.

But underneath all that green stuff was a genuinely stunning Jaguar. ❤️

And this wasn’t just any old diesel either…

🐆 A few interesting S-Type facts:

🔹 The S-Type was launched in 1999, with styling heavily influenced by classic Jaguars such as the Mk2.

🔹 The 2.7-litre V6 diesel arrived in 2004, and was a pretty serious bit of engineering for its day.

🔹 It produced around 206–207bhp and a hefty 435Nm of torque.

🔹 That torque figure was actually higher than Jaguar’s naturally aspirated 4.2-litre V8. 😳

🔹 It could do 0–60mph in around 8 seconds and had a top speed of roughly 143mph — so despite looking like a gentleman’s cruiser, it wasn’t exactly slow!

🔹 The 2.7 V6 diesel was developed jointly by Ford and PSA, and used advanced twin-turbocharging and common-rail injection technology.

Sadly, this particular Jaguar wasn’t destined for a second chance.

Due to the wishes of the family, it had to be fully recycled and a Certificate of Destruction issued.

And honestly… that really was a crying shame.

But sometimes the job isn’t about saving every car. Sometimes it’s about helping a family deal with a vehicle that’s reached the end of the road with its owner and doing things properly, making sure it’s recycled responsibly.

So farewell, big Jag. 🐆💚

From S-Type to Scrap Type… that’s one hell of a change of career. 😂

Sorry we’ve been a bit quiet lately, folks—we’ve been flat out shifting metal! But to make it up to you, here’s an absolute blast from the past to get those classic petrolhead juices flowing. 🚗💨
Behold our latest arrival: a 1996 Vauxhall Calibra 2.0L, finished in what can only be described as Radioactive Mushy Pea Metallic, perfectly paired with a rather sumptuous (if slightly tired) cream leather interior.
Now, she’s certainly seen better days, but with lines that sleek, this 90s icon is a prime candidate for a proper restoration project!
Did you know the 2.0L 8v Calibra was officially crowned the most aerodynamically efficient production car in the world when it launched? It held a record-breaking drag coefficient of just 0.26 for an entire decade—literally slipping through the air easier than a buttered otter.
Got a motor taking up room on the driveway?
At Scrap My Car Lymm, we are always on the hunt for our next pickup. We will buy ANY vehicle, in ANY condition:
* Non-runners, MOT failures, and accident damage
* Classic project cars and garage finds
* End-of-life daily runabouts and work vans
Why sell to us?
Unlike those giant web-based companies that promise the earth online only to send someone out with a magnifying glass to chip away at your price, we always pay what we say. A deal’s a deal—no games, no nonsense, and zero tyre-kicking haggling at the roadside.
Drop us a message right here on the page or give us a call today for a fast, fair, no-obligation quote! 📞🏁

## 🚨 HOLY GRAIL ALERT IN LYMM! 🚨
You know we love a good scrap run, but today we didn't just pick up a car... we did some genuine automotive archaeology.
Take a look at this. Right now, it looks like it’s been auditioning for a role as a decorative garden feature. It’s got more moss than a Welsh forest and enough lichen to start its own ecosystem. It looks sad. It looks abandoned.
**But beneath that shrek-green exterior lies an absolute unicorn.** 🦄
This is a genuine, bona fide, **1-owner, AUTOMATIC Nissan Micra** with—dry your eyes, you read this right—**only 13,000 miles on the clock.** 🤯 13,000! That’s not a mileage, that’s a long weekend for some people! This thing has basically spent the last two decades driving to the local shop for a pint of milk once a week, and that is *it*.
Being a bulletproof little Japanese automatic already makes it highly desirable. But adding the fact that it’s only done 13,000 miles makes it...
* rarer than a sunny bank holiday in Cheshire? ☀️
* more valuable to a modern-classic nerd than gold dust? 💰
* practically a brand-new car wrapped in a duvet of nature? 🌱
> **The Plan:** This beauty is absolutely NOT meeting the crusher. This is the "Before" picture. We are currently staging an intervention, staging a deep clean, and staging a massive rescue mission.

Stay tuned, because once we jet-wash the Jurassic period off this bad boy, we will update you when she’s been brought back to absolute mint condition.
