So nice, did it twice XJ40, now X300...
Not sure how it happened, but before I knew it I am a two Jag owner. 
Owned an old reliable '91 XJ40 I bought used a few years ago around 2001. It was my daily driver, and my first Jag experience. It's moving on up in time and miles, so I had one eye open for another car, in the next few years.
Enter the '96 x300. Ran across it used with about 60K miles on the clock. Went ahead and pulled the trigger at $6K. Has some normal wear and tear, but is fairly clean. I can probably put another $2K into it to tighten it all the way up, and still be ahead.
It needs a few items done, so I'll be around asking dumb questions, until I can get familiar with the model.
Things it needs:
>Pinion Seal/leaking
>Steering Rack/Leaking
>A/C isn't cold
>Replace all blown/rotted speakers and replace faulty amp - in progress
Those are the major issues, but at $6K I took the risk to get her back up to speed.
One thing I'd like to see more of on this forum is pictures inline the threads. Here's a couple of pics of my new(est) Cat. (hopefully they post)
Oh yeah, my other British Car is a '74 Triumph TR6, along with my requisite American GMC Suburban to chauffeur the family.
