203000kms, sweet as I expected.
I bought it 4 years ago at 141000kms.
Timing chains/blades/dampers etc all done at 148000, just because, and they were SAD.
Was daily driver, coz "she" had the XJ-S, but now "hers" is the S Type, and it is soooooo nice to drive, the X300 is the part timer. Might move it on and get an S Type myself??>

Mine's done 165,000 miles. That's what, 265,000 km.
I bought it at 160,000 so I don't really know what it had before but so far I've given it brakes, tyres, radiator, bushes, shocks, springs, relays, bulbs, steering wheel reach driveshaft, ignition coils, crank sensor....
I'm hoping it's still got a few miles left in it!

1997 xj6L with 99.560 miles on it. engine and trans are strong but due to the beach area and tropical weather it has rusted in parts (sunroof had to replace entirely) (rear doors window frames have rusted) and bottom of driver door. not to mention the under part of the car. other than the rust and the typical electronic failures or malfunctions its ok. gotta say its the first car ive had that gets rust.

Sitting at 76,000. Guess mines the youngest.
With exceptional care and several up and coming road trips I hope I can clock as many as you all have.
My headliner is still running strong, the leather still looks decent, and for 15/16 years in the harsh California weather The Green Machine is still the best looking thing on the road.
- I have no ABS. Could fix it but choose not to.
- I replaced the stereo and speakers. The old ones worked, I guess.
- The plastic part on the bottom of the radiator is cracked. I suspect this is my fault. A very costly mistake for misjudging a curb.
- Obviously my clock works only when it wants to.
- Antenna doesn't like to move so I leave that sucker tall and proud.
