Cool Brand New XJ-S V12 Owner

Hey.
Brand new 18 year old Jaguar XJ-S V12 owner.
Happened to find this car on Craigslist for only $1000, coaxed the guy down to $800.
The car is pretty wild, only 46,000 original miles owned originally by a Hawaiian doctor/politician Mark "Duke" Bainum. All the papers came with it, hundreds of dollars spent keeping this car in pristine condition. It even won a rally race in Hawaii. Overall, really cool car with a lot of history.
It has a few flaws at the moment, missing a passenger side headlight among a few other cosmetic issues.
I am very excited about this car and to become a member of an obviously very expansive and fascinating community.



-Thanks

Welcome to the forum,

Sounds like the car could tell a few stories.
