are they money pits or a canny buy? Always fancied an old XJ Jag and right now a grand buys you a late 90s XJ6 or XJ8....

Wow, thanks!

I get confused by Jags but presume the X300 is the squarer headlight one? Or is that the X40 I am confusing it with?

I really want an X308 XJR again, my £1300 one cost way more than that in upkeep but it was a cracking car. Trouble is I want a later X308 in either black or blue with the R1 package, no leaper and cream leather interior or alternatively an XJR100. Both seem to pop up for sale quite rarely and prices aren't exactly cheap. There is an immaculate XJR100 that recently popped on the ph classifieds at a rather high price.

Rust is an issue as has already been mentioned on here. That and the fact that most of the cheap ones will need a good bit of preventative maintenance. Gearbox fluid, supercharger oil etc all adds up.

Where do you find an XJR for £1300? Cheapest I could find was around the £3k mark!
