Can we expect a full road test? Suitability parameters?

Wow, what a beautiful car, and very Jalop too. It's got, what, 100+ points?
PS1: you might want to install some anti-magical-beast deterrent at the rear if you go near Jalop HQ
PS2: don't carry any suspicious white powder in your car, like flour

She's certain I'm going to find a way to rationalize buying a new one (or something more expensive) within 6 months of parting with it.

Jag owners are total masochists and that's all there is to it.

Even the regular maintenance makes Jags look affordable compared to German cars.

I continue to preach, older, high-end vehicles, if you find one which has been taken care of, shame anything you'd find for similar pricing, even if it's 3-5 years old.
I.e, gimme a 15-20 year old Benz, or similar, vehicle, versus a 3-5 year old 'commoners' car.
I still want an XJS-HE, but in all honesty, I know better than to go that route, unless I become wealthy.
Kinda like I'd like to have a 10+ year old E or S-class AMG sedan or wagon. Great to have, but when it comes to using the right pedal, resistance is futile. Ergo, tires, fuel, and traffic citations, possibly lawyer's fees, are likely to become prohibitive.

A guy came in in a black Jag just like this with only 15k miles on it.
He was unhappy with the factory Michellins, as he pointed out through a subtle grin that the rears had worn out in only 15k miles.
Cool car. Also on my "want but definitely don't need" list.

There is a XJC 12 down the street from me just sitting i a driveway. The xjc was only made for 2 years and most where the 6 cylinder cars. Sure to bring it back up to driver, and sort the v12 would take some time and money, but the car appears straight and no rust. less than 1,800 6's and only 686 12's. You must see pics of this car to really appreciate it. Classic Xj lines in a pillarless 2 door, and slightly smaller wheelbase. They get lots of looks since you never see 2 door XJ's.
