Childhood dream realised yesterday with the purchase of my XJR

Wanted one in flamenco red and must have cream leather and dark wood and it must be a x300 with the straight 6 ... Oh look here's one.. and its on my drive

Fully fully loaded whoever ordered this put a massive tick across all the boxes and the stereo system is insanely good

Full folders of scary bills and comprehensive service history... All the normal x300 faults are missing ( both keythobs work.. exhaust manis replaced and the clock works! - only about 5% of cars seem to have a working clock!)

The main benefit the car has a BRC Autogas conversion

Supercharger whine is seriously addictive.

Not sure how long I will keep it as it is massive and I cannot park to save my life :wack:














Cheers all

 

Looks great, and congratulations :-)

It's so nice to see one that *isn't* black!


Cheers

Congratulations on owning a fabulous looking car. That red colour reminds me of the 1950's American hot rods. Was it called "Candy Apple red"?
In fact, I'd be green with jealousy if my car wasn't better .

 

such a beauty !!

 

This is a cool ride , happy safe driving

 

Love the Flamenco Red, I've got an XJR that's the same color. The transmission mount does go bad, especially in an XJR, with all of that wonderful torque. Mine is up on jack stands now waiting for the replacement bushing. The last owner (or someone else along the way) used a combination of cardboard and what looks like construction adhesive to fill in the void where the foam bushing is supposed to go. I just got the car and hope that it's not a sign of things to come.....the best of luck to you. great car!
