Default Radiator mystery

Just acquired a 91 XJS. Been in garage for over 18 years. Started occasionally but not driven. Last started about 12 years ago. We got it started with no problem. Runs smooth and quiet. Loaded on trailer and hauled for 2 hours to our home. Had started numerous time as we were trying to get power steering to work. Success! Now, we opened the radiator cap and heard a "gurgling" sound!! In a few seconds there was water on shop floor! It never leaked a drop when running. But, whencap opened, it all drained out! Any ideas????
