Pls give advice to a novice who has never owned a Jaguar

This would be used strictly as a weekend pleasure car.



Any and all comments welcome.

and download the free book about owing an XJS. It will be a huge help before you buy. Again- take your time--- it took me 9 months to find mine. One statement many owners say. "there's nothing more expensive than a cheap Jaguar". Good luck in your search
