Iam no expert, but for £4700🇬🇧 For a decent driving,shabby chic early xjs, it was a very fair price. As you say, find were the waters getting in, engine tune and enjoy
No. In UK from 2030 only NEW petrol and diesel cars will be banned (and there's still a possibility they won't be). Anything pre-2030 is fine. Classic cars will always be okay.
@@tjmthejagmandownunder its the "investnent" money from non jag people that's pushing prices up. They are weak hands and will liquidate once they notice interest rates are up. Reminds me much of the Mk2 price surge just before the global financial crisis , mk2 prices halved after
correct. I have just purchased a 1987 5.3 V12 2 owner Aus delivered 140km car with full service history for $15,000 June 2023. Neat duco to be polished, nil rust superb leather, carpet and wood.

I'm watching this video on September 1st 2023. I assume this car has been sold, but would like to know? And prices over here in America are even getting higher
Nice car but it really was due for a stripdown and refresh… plus of course some Kent alloys and ideally a black leather interior.
Awesome vid Brett. Love that guys garage!
So do I, thanks for watching!
Smart collection of cars there. Does a V12 XJS Pre He = flat cylinder head?
Correct Paul
PRE H have the best engines for Hot rodding you cant improve HE but from pre HE you easily ca get 350 HP

Probably get one cheaper over your way but yes! Water was coming from windscreen so it needed a new rubber seal
Sadly soon all gas cars will be banned from most public streets in EU, USA and CANADA!
Hopefully not in our time!

I think I'll be dead and buried before that happens
Enjoyed 🙂👍
prices for an XJS are way out of the ball park these days. Watch them correct big time.
Yes Peter they vary quite a lot at the moment.

@@ew1977 that sounds like my kind of car.. Bravo.
Which state did you buy it from?
@@peterk4501 Victoria
Definitely walk away from that mate unless you have deep pockets for resto I know having had all types of jags in the UK
Owned plenty of them Malcolm so have to disagree. This thing was a low Klm car, definitely worth putting some $$ into her!
Different markets.. UK prices with their salt ridden roads, have no equivalence to prices down under

Cripes Brett.. seems Great value .. would make a Brilliant project Track Car or.. a basis for a synpathetic refresh
Not a big fan of the oversized bumpers. Thought the fat bumpers were US market only.
This is one of my favourite cars I always keep an eye out for these beauties.

Yes sold immediately
Prices here, however, have slowed due to economic pressures but should recover next year hopefully
Every respectable Jag owner has a Land Cruiser parked outside. 😉
I have a soviet Made UAZ 469 jeep
