Good evening!

My name's Ashley, and I've taken ownership of my father in law's 1985 XJS 3.6 Manual.

She's in need of restoration, but at least the engine appears to run nice. Supprised how much she pulls once you it around 3,500rpm. Also, how quiet it is while cruising around 70mph. The only issue I can see is that it has an overrun issue where the car violently shunts once you hit around 1,500rpm. Bit of a pain, and worried incase this causes other issues to the car, like mounts, clutch etc.

Currently doing some research but no doubt I'll be posting on here soon for some advice!
