HTH! Plans are afoot to get the XJS tarted up and roadworthy (cheers v8250), but knowing me I shall probably spaff the fixing-funds on some other heap. Why fix up one broken car when you can buy another one that will in turn become broken?

November almost done, no progress, and I have accepted reality: The Jag is bound for eBay!

I spent all the money I could have spent to restore this car on buying other cars. Also, the Jag has emotional connections with a lost love, and that may explain why I haven't touched it. Someone else can do it up!

Oh no!

I was hoping that this beauty would be spared your cull.

It has a lot to do with beauty!

If I was rational I would not have bought two cars this year and would have done the Jag up instead. But rational, what's that?

Oh I have always loved these, and would have ended up with one of we could have got everyone in it for a Le Mans trip. As it was, we settled for an X308 instead.
A shame to see it go after the effort gone to to source panels, still, if it leaves more time for the rest of the fleet!
Cheers,
Tom

I had an XJS V12 for a few months a couple of years back. Had to sell it as I had no where to park as we moved flat - I loved that car and thought Id made a mistake selling it. Until I recently had a look at its MOT history only to find it was suffering tin rot judging by all the work that was being done. Bullet dodged me thinks.

They are two sorts of XJS on the market: ones with some rust, and ones being sold by liars or the deluded hehe
