I like the simplicity of an early XJS (e.g. no chrome), but the bumper extensions are horrendous, particularly on the rear. The HE thankfully fixed those monstrosities.

Whilst it does look exceptionally well maintained, it does nothing for me I'm afraid. Those black bumpers make it look like a base spec for some reason, I do think I prefer them with a bit of bling. Just suits the character of the car.

I had an early XJ-S for a while. It was a 78 so it had the TH400 transmission, and the pre HE engine. They're supposed to be the quickest of all XJS models, including the 6L cars.
