Just pondering the purchase of a mint late 96 XJS 4.0 Celebration. Need something to use on the not so nice days and pottling to shops etc when 'driving like a loon' is not appreciated by my lovely passenger.
Anyone had the pleasure of owning one of these beasties? Are there any downsides?
I have never had an XJS, but have had an XJ6 (new back axle after 653 miles!) and an XJ8. I think that they are a nicer drive than the XJS (imho) and are certainly more practical.
The second one was totally reliable, more than can be said for most MB's I've owned, and was much loved by Head Office; who really enjoyed driving it. Again, they seem to go very cheap these days and I really hanker after one again, but second-hand this time as the depreciation curve is impressive. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
