This afternoon I'm mostly looking at this for £22k



… and thinking what's the worst that could happen?

I guess around £5k a year is about the worst, isn't it? Does look nice, though.

fairly pricey for the miles and its an early car

Needs a bigger air filter.

Is it wrong to buy oneself Christmas presents when the perfect spec car shows up?

Surely you don't fit in one of those?

Seemed to be OK when I tried one for size.

In much the same way as I can get into a Caterham.

£45k! Is that how much those things are going for these days?! I can't keep up!

I also can't help thinking a mint mk1 Mazda would be just as nice to drive.

GP's tyres have arrived just in time for Christmas.

Me too. Maybe the first time I've liked a larger-than-standard wheel on an XJS. I think they almost always look awful with anything other than proper items.

Yes. Put some CSL alloys, or, even better, some 18"s on and that would be perfect....

The wheels on the Lada are equally non-standard, but I love them.

Are the XJS wheels the BBS ones BMW put on the 8-Series?

Good colour scheme. Lovely car. Would certainly like to try one after my E36!

Yes, I think so, 18" split rim style 5.
