Default Finally got my dream car: '89 XJ-S

I've wanted a white pre-facelift XJ-S since I was 15. Finally, 30 years later, I've got a nicely kept, original 1989 XJ-S with 67k miles on it. Needs a few standard things addressed (cooling, steering, rear breaks) but she's solid, smooth, powerful and runs like a top.

I couldn't be happier. I've ordered service manuals from Jaguar Heritage and am reading Kirby Palm's Book from start to finish after using it as a reference guide to help me determine which year & car to buy.
