Hello all. My son wanted a Jag as his first car so we did some research and looked at lots of cars. Not many in good shape or even running in his price range but finally got lucky and picked up a 97 XJ6 from Arizona in terrific shape and rust free with 135k miles. Looks, runs and sounds great. Should be a great car to teach the boy how to "turn some wrenches" on his own car.

 

Your son shows remarkably good taste for one so young.
