It's been a while since I've been on but I just bought a 1988 XJS Coupe! In amazing condition and getting even better!! Just received my custom Mina Gallery stainless and black mesh updated grille. Can't wait to put it on!
Have to get a tiny touch of early rust taken care of but except for that and a crack in the glove box veneer, it's pretty much flawless! Thinking about doing the swap for the chromed starfish wheels, not a fan of the factory finish.
Also want the replacement ski slope with the cup holders so I'm thinking of a complete veneer replacement to something totally custom, maybe zebra or black walnut.
It's signal red with tan interior.
Love this car!!
My XF has had a much deserved rest!!

Only issue is a fuel smell in the boot but getting that sorted out soon too. Photo's to come!!

Hello is more appropriate than welcome Phil,

The XJS has a very loyal following amongst members which is great to see as they are a very rare sight here in the UK nowadays. Your XF will just be gathering dust as you enjoy the Coupe!

No need to give you links as you've been here long enough to know your way around.

Get than fuel issue resolved. You want to go Vroom not Whoosh.

Graham
