Default I could never drive it as a manual smh


Figured I'd take a picture to show all the people who've asked \"How do you fit in a little car like that" about my 93 xjs convertible, exactly how I fit lol! Love driving it though! Even if i have to have my head tilted with the top up lol

That does look like Vaseline was required to squeeze you in there. I am 6'4" and 180lbs. Just fit in my '88 coupe. Suprising that space is tight for what on the outside looks like a largish car. Mine is a 5spd. Can only drive it in bare feet or with close fitting sports shoes due to US size 15 feet

You were obviously not put off by a sub-optimal driving position. Must REALLY like the XJS!

In a word, yes. Lol. I was born in 1976, so basically for 20 years I saw and loved the xjs. From hot-wheels, to toys, to tv shows, they were in a way, part of my childhood. I always said if i ever got one it would have to be a convertible in green with a tan top and interior. And that's exactly what I got 🙂🙂🙂
