Jaguar XJS

Anyone like these? For some reason I have some perverse attraction to these cars....I want to get one for my next car, that or a Porsche 944. Anyway, I have heard ridiculous mpg accounts for this car, like SEVEN mpg for some guy in London (probably had the V12) and also tales of the usual 1980s Jaguar stuff, electrical problems etc. so I would have to get one post-1990 to make sure it was all above board.

The only thing I don't like about them is that gearstick....shudder. Has anyone seen the convertible? Drool....

They look nice. How often do you take your car up to 155?

Yes, I am already paying for an XJ6 - has been expensive so far....have you had one personally lashout_UK?

Do yours have back seats or just a little parcel rack thing?

Ever driven/been driven in an XJ6? If yes, what does the engine sound like in comparison with your I6 one?

There's one down the road from me and every time I pass it (in my XJ6) I think if only it had 4 lights on the front instead of those frog-eyes I'd take it over mine in a heartbeat....the interior kind of looks like a mini version of the XJ6 though....what does everyone think of the "flying buttresses"?

edit: It does have 4 lights on the front....droooool.

Leaping bonnet Jaguar? Yes or no? Personally I don't like them. They look a bit like a proboscis or something.
