1986 Jaguar XJS V12 review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
What was right with it??
Owned the car for 5 years and spent £13,500 on repairs and servicing. If anything goes wrong it costs a fortune to fix, and as my car was built by monkeys after a few beers the car was in for repair about once every 8 weeks.
The main dealers are expensive, useless and rude.
General comments?
A very nice car to drive when working. Could do with an extra gear as 3 are not enough.
Ventilation is useless even when the aircon is working.
Only ever buy as a hobby car.
