Here she is, the result of my search for a decent XJ-S
Discussion
Some of you may remember a post I put up a couple of months are so asking for advice on buying a XJ-S, & of two PH'ers contacting me both with cars they were thinking of selling.
Well, I looked at a few locally first trying to gauge condition versus price point, so when I went to see the two cars in question I pretty much knew the type of car I wanted. Interestingly the guys were both called Lewis, lived in the same area & were friends, one with a V12 auto & the other a 3.6 Manual. Well I couldn't fault either car, & although initially I favoured a V12, the lure of a manual box in the end proved too much. I am very grateful to both guys for being so open & helping me with my decision, neither pushed their car as better than the other, just different, & so it proved.
So, to the car; I have had her just under a month now & have polished her to within an inch of her life, & just driven & enjoyed her. I have only done around 500 miles, all town driving apart from getting her home, & she is averaging 26mpg so far. I have a trip up to Sheffield soon so it will be interesting to see how much better I can do.
Please forgive the location of the pictures, not the best background but are the only ones I have for now.
