Not only that but everyone else looks back with envy. You could even end up on the internet like me:


Someone actually snapped a picture of me driving down Georgia st haha. Always a 'look back' car.

 

I started out with a clean sheet of paper and started listing all the features etc. I wanted in a special car. Budget was a big factor but also style, rarity and comfort ( i'm 6'4" tall ) were high on the list. As I worked through my list and figured out what car would hit the most items and conditions I was looking for the XJS came out at the top of the list. Only problem was in Idaho I had no XJS at the time in my area to check out in person. Luckily I found a '95 owned by an older couple in our local British car club and was able to check it out in person and not only did I fit in it but I was smitten with the whole car. Since I had my first one lined up to buy in southern California I called the owner right after checking out the local car and told the seller in southern California that I would be down the next weekend to pick it up-the rest is history as they say ! It is still my favorite car even though I am up to 6 special cars now. Just something about the XJS that keeps me looking back over my shoulder and puts a big smile on my face when I am around the car.

 

My first XJS at local British car show 2018. Still my favorite car.
