Yes, fairly obvious that non of these three examples has had any recent TLC, what with CELs, ABS non-ops, falling headliners, etc. etc.
Simply examples of what look to be clean, low mileage examples yearning for enthusiastic new owners to fix the minor faults.
Always good to see YouTube vids related to the older Jags.

I prefer the older cars primarily because I LOVE to tinker. Yes, I know, be careful what you wish for but, I just don’t like very many newer cars. They all look the same. I find with all the electronics “newer” cars have to be just as bad if not worse than our already “old” cars electrical issues. To me, the X308 styling is timeless. My wife (00’ XJ8 w/59k), daughter(98’ XJR w/264k) and I (03’ SV8 w/both pulleys, intake, intercooler radiator and exhaust mods make my 119k car fun) are all worthy vehicles. Yes, they all require TLC from time to time but, being a Jag tech has its perks. Like the video above, my wife’s 00’ XJ8 is the same color as the 99’ VP. It’s a ..... different color....but it’s not like any other cars on the road.

Tried like mad to figure out where these guys were located: Living in Tidewater, nah! Half my adult life in Northern VA or Montgomery County MD, nah! I am thinking Richmond area . . .
I think CK has it right: each needed some work and TLC . . . they way he saved the headliner in the first two was a disaster -- 6mm staples would have been cleaner
