Great choice. The XJS is a great car. Not the easiest car to own, but worth the effort.

Cheers

a love/hate feature about it is that the original owner had the v12 go bust, and put in a 4.3L chevy v6 with a 700r4 trans. redid most wiring, new fuel tank/filter/pump, and the interior is perfect aside from the headliner. all it needs is the windshield wiper motor, and side mirror switch, could use an antenna and the buttons for the driver aid computer as well haha, thanks!

Welcome to the forum Adam,

The XJS is a nice Jag to have, maybe you will get round to slipping in a V12 one day.

not out of the question, i have a 79 camaro for my fast car now, the jag is my new DD, but once im done building my camaro i plan on getting a much more modern v12 for the jag rather than the one that it had haha

Welcome to the forum!

Oh one other thing you need to put your car details in your signature. I am speaking of the Year, Make & Model. Without it you may not get the input you are looking for.

Please take a moment and read the information provided to you explaining the rules. Be patient and enjoy the site.
