Summary:
Without doubt this car is what dreams are made of
Faults:
Nothing, I have only bought this car recently and my first action was to book it in for a full service and MOT with the intention of rectifying any potential problems before they became problems. The MOT verdict was.
Needed New Bonnet Struts.
Handbrake needed adjusting.
New Brake Disks.
Faulty brake light.
Minor welding to sills.
General Comments:
A car that turns heads and arouses comment wherever it goes.
Unbelievably comfortable and lively to drive if a little light on steering.
The raw power and dimensions takes a bit of getting used to.
About as sexy as a car can get. Totally erotic to drive
The engine gently growls when first fires up, but settles down to a soothing purr, just like a cat.
Pure decadence on 4 wheels, a case of lust at first sight.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I just bought a 1988 XJS, black exterior and tan interior, I am going to see just how "naughty" this cat really is, they just can't be "tamed", so it's best to be REAL nice to them, I'm gonna "spoil" this cat with premium gas, I will always make sure it has the best oil money can buy and often, just to start with.
These cars are so beautiful and have a persona of their own, and if one can think of a repair bill like a vet bill for a prized horse, then one can easily fork over the cash when and if the cat gets "ill".
It will still be easier to spend money on repair bills than it would to fork over thousands and thousands and thousands on a new car with PLASTIC bumpers!~!~!~!
