Hello - UK owner here (With pics)
Hi Chaps,
I am a big fan of XJ's I bought my first one 10 years ago when i was 28 and have pretty much never been without one since...
I picked this up last night.
I wouldn't normally go for a green car (All my previous XJ's have been blue) but i think the very classic colour scheme makes a nice contrast with the (slightly) more sporty look of the XJR.
Its Jaguar (British) Racing Green with factory red coachlines and has an Ivory interior with Black dash/door tops and carpets and dark stained veneers.
Quite nice spec with sunroof, Harmon Kardon, Electric/memory seats, folding mirrors, heated front screen, electric steering column, etc etc....
The last owner had the car for 7 years and did very little mileage (4000miles) in that period. He definitely cherished it though - There are invoices (from local Jaguar Specialists) for nearly £6000 during his ownership and then a further £10,000 of invoices from the previous owner (All from Racing Green Cars)!!! Ans of course a fully stamped service book.
It needs a couple of little bits doing, but nothing major.... I plan to use it as my everyday car.
The Sun came out this afternoon, so i gave her a quick clean.........
The previous ones were:
I emigrate to Australia in about 6 months time and have no idea of the availability of older XJ's, but i'm sure i have plenty more to come (think i'll give the Series III cars a go next)...

Welcome to the forum Richard,
Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums. You must be in one of the few areas in the south that isn't under water!
The XJR with such a history is am amazing find.
Follow this link XJ X300 / XJR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the X300 forum for advice, information and to post your own input. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.
Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.
You can also visit the UK Region forum by following this link UK - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to find other members in this country.
Better have a look at the Australia / New Zealand Region too. Jaguars are very expensive over there.
Enjoy the forums.
Graham

Welcome to Jag Forums!
Great collection of Jags you've had. I suppose you could teach a thing or two about Jag ownership!
Fantastic looking XJR, with a beautiful beast of an engine under the bonnet! Love the interior, especially as a RHD. Sweet Daimler Six as well.
Look forward to your expertise around the XJ40, X300, and X308 sections! Cheers.
