1994 Jaguar XJS V12 review from North America

Nothing major, no oil leaks, AC works $600, power steering pipe $500, and protector under engine $300 (this is not a fault but a frequent occurence due to low level of car, I have been told that many drivers have replaced these 5 or 6 times in various makes including Volvo). I had some problems with the throttle setting due to dealer incompetence, also had some warning devices replaced as a precaution.

This car is something else, acceleration is unbelievable, I would challenge any 911. I have had the car at 140 mph with the same smoothness one generally expects at 30 mph, there was plenty to spare. People stare at the car through the back window, having been told by the driver. I would love an XK8 but not at the expense of this car, it will have to wait until I can afford to keep the XJS as a toy (it is currently my day car), my registration # is "COVENTRY" which is the town in England where they make the car.
