Hi
I live in UK and bought my 6.0L XJS coupe (1993 model) in Oct 2014.
It's my first Jaguar and my daily driver.
Covered about 18000 miles since buying it.
Now got 95000miles on clock, mostly trouble free motoring.
Have needed new starter motor and replacement crank sensor, new battery otherwise just routine servicing.
Needs air conditioning repairing (compressor).
the market for late XJS is very strong in the UK at the moment, particularly for convertibles. And the market for late 6 litre convertibles is the strongest of all.
There is one dealer here in the UK that has even been importing LHD 6 litre convertibles from the US and selling them for Ģ35,000+. He even has one 5k mile car up for sale at Ģ65,000.
Hi redgear. I have a BRG 6.0 convertible here in northern Ca with 88k miles and no operational issues. Just done a cooling system overhaul and am currently refurbing the turbine 20 spoke rims and new tires. Like to keep most things original.
Mine is a 94 6.0, 2+2 convertible that I bought in November with 90K miles. Still going through everything maintenance wise. I hope to have it were it is feeling "reliable" to me by spring for top down weather. The car runs great, but with all the things that can go wrong on this car, I guess I'm a little paranoid. It is a blast to drive.

Here are some photos of my XJR-S 1992 model. 90,000km, color is Brooklands Green and the car was sold new in Germany. I bought it from a collector in February and the car is now with me in Norway.
Beavis, your R-S seems to have outboard rear brakes, so easing maintenance but increasing unsprung weight.
Is this part of your "upgrade"?
Hi paydase, yes absolutely. It has XJR (x308) rear outboard brakes, and while as you say the weight is increased I will eventually be putting billet calipers on there! She also got an ARB and Anti tramp kit along with AM Vantage lower wishbones. :-)
Nice car.
Isn't it already for sale?
(I see and ad on finn.no)
Thanks. Yes it is on the market. It seems from the comments it has got on the forums in Norway that not many people here understand what it is. Looks like they think it is an XJS. I donīt need to sell it and the prices look like they are on the way up :-) so it could continue to sit where it is.
