By the way I am located in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Are there any other XJS owners in
this forum who are based in the UAE?

I have been looking out for a late model 6.0 XJS convertible for some time and never expected to find one in the UAE

Labor costs are good here so the paint and interior will be cost effective compared to home (UK)

Really want to have it all done in the next few months and shipped so it arrives just after 6 months of ownership when the import tax disappears
