Sorry, a bit late to the party on this one - what the Beeb's article doesn't mention is that this car is one of only six S3 4.2's built, Jaguar's main market in the USA was not interested in the tiddler when they could have the V12 instead. Goes some way to explaining the optimistic estimate especially when 150K would get you a very VERY nice S1 3.8. It's an oddball.
