First Jaguar was a 1987 XJ6. Had it for a week - was buying it from an elderly neighbor and friend who couldn't drive any more. He had it serviced before offering it to me for next to nothing. I drove it a week before buying - and it nearly killed me at a light.
Light was red, I was waiting for it to turn green. Suddenly the engine revved and lurched towards the car ahead of me. The brake wasn't holding the beast back, and I pulled the emergency brake, and it dumped gasoline. The emergency brake held her back and then I drove it back home and said no thanks.
I am in the market for a low miles XJ6 with no rust and as few problems as possible. When the drive well, they are dreams. Anyway, coming back around in my thinking.

Welcome to the forum edolecki,
Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.
I know you were originally looking for a 420G. Are you now thinking of a Series I XJ6 as an alternative? If so, follow this link XJ6 & XJ12 Series I, II & III - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the XJ6 Series I, II & III forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.
You can also visit the US North East Region forum by following this link USA North East - ME NH VT MA RI CT NJ NY PA - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to find other members in your region.
Enjoy the forums.
Graham
