There are usually one or two on ebay every few months. I have an early 5.3 XJR-S, and I've stripped one that was so rotten it didn't take much to lift the engine out.

You can usually find a decent one for around 7.5k.. so 1.5 x a normal XJS in decent condition.

In that case, very rare!
I looked at them a while back, and would love one.
Good luck.
