Cars and Classics and the JEC classifieds would be a good place to start looking

A think finding a 'good condition early car from '75/76' is going to be quite some task. But I certainly understand the appeal. A friend of mine has an immaculate 1975 car with a manual gearbox. It is stunning.

The pure, early XJ-S. Wonderful!

I agree, they're beautiful.

Some years ago, I put Series 2 XJ6 bumpers and indicator/sidelight units into an XJS - much like the early prototypes had as the pressings were still there. I ought to do it again, it gave it an elegance that the big plastic bumpers took away from it.

I missed a pre HE XJS once, as it was a choice between it and an XJ6C (one or the other - for free.) The XJ6C won.

I missed a very early XJ-S when I was looking for my XJ. Meads at Burnham (as it was back then) had a totally mint condition very early car in the showroom, sadly someone about 30 minutes earlier had rung to enquire about it and promised to come to view it the following day. So he wouldn't sell it to me.
It was gorgeous.
