Steve from Pollock La
Hi. New member here from Central Louisiana, I have owned 2 88 xjs but
have recently purchased an 87 xjs v12 from an estate. I have not yet began
work on it but intend to soon. I've been told it was the worst engine Jaguar
ever made but I want to hear that baby run. Car has 51K and hasn't run for
a while. I put a new battery in and it does turn over. The only thing I've
found just looking is the passenger side window doesn't and the hood struts
are gone. I am not a mechanic but have a passion for forgotten cars. Thanks
for having a group that I can get expertise from . I will be asking.

Hello, Steve,
It sounds like our XJS section is for you:
https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xjs-x27-32/
Those guys between them know *Everything* about the car, certainly how to get that V12 running again.
Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.
