1984 Jaguar XJS review from North America
"A standard of luxury and performance no other car company could even come close to"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, I have a heating problem. it likes to get Really warm really quick, but that's expected with a V12, and the interior is in ruff shape, but I haven't put that much money into it I've only had to replace the starter.
General comments?
I have a sports tuned transmission and this car can move if I put it down, I highly recommend getting the transmission tuned up, it makes that V12 act like its suppose to, havn't lost a race yet.
