A wonderful project for someone assuming of course it could be bought at reasonable money . Great to see the Factory Sunroof fitted instead of the period glass aftermarket one that blights so many Seventies Fords . Someone no doubt will snap this up .

Yeah fair comment . They never seemed to grab the marketplace the way they should have the Z Cars of this generation . Is that fair to say ?

I had my trousers taken down with a Series 1 when I was a teenager . Rotten as a pear with the lagging around the twin tanks soaking it rotted from the inside outwards . I have taken a bit of stick over the years from fellow Jaguar Enthusiasts when I advise newcomers to the marque to go for the X350 over any other XJ . Aluminium is just a lot less hassle when buying an old Jaguar

I remember a bloke in Glasgow when I was much younger running around in something badged as a Samurai which although I know little about assumed to be a tuned version . The Ford men just shook their heads for it was just too far out . Like wearing a mink coat in the Gorbals .
