If your buying this Car from a Garage, I would want everything working, including the ABS or if not I would walk away, as if you can't or do not want to work on her yourself, She could cost you a fortune in the long run and if you ever wanted to sell her, then any potential purchaser would also want everything working, especially the Brakes!

There's always another XJS and it always sometimes never pays to buy the first one you see

Actually, brake warning light aside, the car is very well sorted and comes with extensive documentation on work done by a well respected Jag club owner. Its not the first one I have looked at, but it does tick all the boxes for me. As I said, the brakes work fine as-is without ABS enabled. If that is road-legal here and it seems it is, then I am not so concerned. I do however appreciate you raising some valid points.
