1998 Jaguar XJ8 review from UK and Ireland
"Don't just fantasize about buying one, just do it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Faulty coolant level sensor, replaced sensor under warranty.
General comments?
Superb looking and quality build.
Extremely reliable, drove to Italy last summer, not one glitch.
Great performance, especially in S mode.
Great investment, still worth what I paid for it.

| We are very disappointed! The V-8s should be recalled and refitted with a 6. Is there a conversion? |
