Just picked up a non running 94 XJS12

I bought this car from an auction in Michigan and was pretty concerned about the car being rusted out but luckily, it seems to be in OK shape structurally.
The interior has wear and the car as listed as non running. However we managed to get it running for about 15 feet while we unloaded it off the 18 wheeler, but it wouldn't start after.
I'm not sure if it's a fueling issue or an ignition issue or something far more serious. It did not sound too bad when it started, but had a little dark smoke so I assume it sat for a while and oil got past the rings.
I put fresh gas but that's about the extent of my effort so far.
I'd be interested in knowing about any known issues with the later V12 motors. This is not my first V12 Jaguar. I also have a V12 XJ12C that's currently running on propane, but the plan is to convert it back.
