Anyone taken a Jaguar XJS on a USA/ Canada road trip?

Hi all...was toying with the idea of buying an XJS (say, 1994 or 1995) and travelling long distances around Canada/ USA. Has anyone done this and were there any issues (reliability/ parts/ fuel etc)?
cheers

Damn...things are not easy huh??!!
Might be a good idea to buy a car in USA and drive it to Canada...dunno what the insurance implications would be but that is one option

Well, though I live in London, I am thinking of moving to Canada (have a visa, just need to make the jump)...thing is, the weather in USA/ Canada is generally good from May to Oct, so there are a fair few months in which to do road trips....I always wanted an XJS but if that proves difficult, I might end up buying something else, such as a Lexus SC430...it would need to be a convertible car to take in the surroundings..
