Accidentally... a V12 XJS
Morning all!
So I've just spent the last 2 years wafting about in this...

A shed at £650 and it's finally succumbed to ruin.
However, I'm not done yet with Jaguars!
A couple of months ago I picked up this...




1987 Jaguar XJS V12 HE
It's been in the dry for the last 5 years or so and barely used bar the odd run.
63,000 miles and only a few days older than myself which I quite like in a geeky kind of way.
Anyway. I'm new to V12's. Any important advice?
I've got a heat (The good kind) issue and I'll be posting in the relevant section later after performing the required searches.

I assume you mean V12-specific advice.
1) Make sure the cooling system is 100% up-to-snuff.
2) Replace all the fuel hoses in the engine bay
Lots of other V12 quirks to learn about and deal with but those are enough to start the conversation
