Looked around and decided to join. Don't own a Jaguar yet, looking for the right one. My Dad had Vanden Plas in 84, he bought it brand new. He traded it in on a Porsche 928S in 85. Jaguar dealer in Vancouver was also Porsche. 86 my Father purchased my Mom a Vanden Plas for her birthday. Partly because he missed the Jag. She kept that one until 90, traded for a BMW 325ic, my mother has no taste and preferred the BMW over an XJS!!!!!! I've always missed both Jags. Bought an 86 XJ6 in 97, but sold it on a few years latter. The six is nice but I like the 12 more. I learned to drive on my Mother's Jag. Anyway its time for another.

 

Should add the cars I do own. 2 85 928's, 2 87 944's, daily driver is a 04 Cayenne, 87 Silver Spur, and 91 420SEL

 

Just got off the phone with my Dad. Said his 84 XJ12 series III VDP was $72,000 CDN. Same model on my Moms was $75,000 in 86. In 80's dollars that was a lot of money.

Hi Poncho,

There's a couple nice looking XJ12s on Craigslist right now. Ggod luck!

 

Thanks for the welcoming. I watch Craigslist, Autotrader U.S. and Canada, EBay motors. I've never seen a XJ12 series III for sale in the states but I look anyway. The ones I've seen haven't been that nice, cracked wood and rust spots. Want maybe not showroom, very clean, just above daily driver.

 

Isn't there one on craigslist that supposed to be a show winner?

 

Best of luck to you!

 

Good luck on the search Poncho, Canada can always use another Jaguar enthusiast.
