I think this car has made its way on to autotrader UK website. Looks great and has added decals on the side, if you are the previous owner, where did you get the turbo side decals that are now present on the car. Great video and sad to see you parted ways with it

I was able to find P600's for my 89 XJS. Completed my 10 year restoration and wanted the 235. Found them here in the States and had to pay (Kings) your ransom for them. I'll try them, good to know there are alternatives. Thank You for taking the time to make this video. Have a TR6 also. Brits make fun cars. Now for that E-Type.

The only MG I'd ever want to own. Spotted one on the road today and had to look it up here.

is this the Lapis Blue color?

As usual the British car market had been caught asleep ar rhe wheel BMC and Rover have always been behind the times This car should have been built back in the 80s but instead they let the Mazda MX 5 beat them to it

Being an MG tragic since 1964, my RV8 was love at first sight and 23 years later I'm still captivated by that glorious V8 sound.

What's the point of the rock music when you have this fabulous V8 engine to listen too?

Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe .

I notice that the engine is a cross flow hemi head Renault 16TS or even later Renault 17 engine. These were never installed in the Europa by Lotus. It's the better engine and easily as powerful as the Lotus engineered Ford based Twin Cam engines. Which transmission has been installed in the car? I'll be interested to see what horse power the installed engine produces when the 'restoration' is finished.

I've always wanted one of these. Great car.

Rover never built anything worth while.

Completely useless if you are more than 5'8" tall .......................

Great tyre advice! How did you decide that 225 was acceptable when it was on 235's?

This guy is smoking crack! The coupe and convertible are equally desirable? The coupes are worth far more and the manual coupes are really worth the the most. At what point was a manual coupe 997.1 turbo EVER worth 25K GBP?

I wonder what will happen to the purity of these cars when the world goes full electric 😕

Nah it's ok, your beard shouldn't mind...

約20年所持していた。色々不便で故障も多く出費もかさんだがが楽しい車だった。

Great video, and car! I've heard a lot about 'light feeling front ends' at high speed (over 120mph), i take it this is inherent in all 911 models seeing as the engine is at the back?

Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in EU :-( In Germany the Green party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing petrol stations to only one state operated peoples gas station per city. From 2027 on the will even stop the production and the import of certain car parts as exhaust systems, catalysts and even stop selling car lubricants.

Nice early s2! That's the one to have. S1 looks with s2 interior and removable chassis!

It’s a nice car apart from the offset steering wheel and lack of room in the footwell.

Nice. I have a 95in Oxford Blue!

Great review. I daily drove one for a year down country lanes for an hour each way to a soulless corporate job, the thought of the drive home was the only thing that got me through

Very nice review, well done! My 1991 XJS V12 convertible is grey metallic and looks very similar to yours. The interior of mine is grey leather though. These cars are so beautiful, a true masterpiece of elegance, and also great fun to drive.

Princess Diana’s favourite car!! Wonderful

Had one of these 30 years ago, Dorchester Grey with a doeskin antelope interior. Just about to buy back in, as a 53 year old, probably a left hand drive Celebration convertible. Colour will be crucial, but £30000 should secure it.

996turbo every bit as good, with a remap of the ecu will give you blistering performance of around 500 bhp plus

I have a "G" Reg XJS Coupe with a Straight 6 and 3,600 cc on Fuel Injection. I always get 30+ miles per gallon for the 16 years that it has been my daily ride. The engine was designed to do 300,000 miles and mine hasn't done nearly a third of this, just run in. You are right that it defies the Laws of Physics, cross-winds which causes bridges to be closed to traffic don't touch this car, the wind folding around the aerodynamic body. In traffic it is as nimple as a Mini. I was going up the M6 one day, when I was cut up by three lorries. Above 50 the XJS does not use the 4 speed auto gearbox, it drives straight through to the back axle, but....... doing 70 and feeling hemmed in, the only escape was forward. I hit the Kickdown on the accelerator and in a couple of seconds I had excaped the crush. I looked down and saw I was doing 120+, no problem, it will do 145 and mine still has the factory oil pressure at 31 Years old. These Jaguars are designed to be the ultimate in Grand Touring. One day, I drove home from Seahouses (near Lindisfarne) to Harlow where I live. I pulled up at my local Co-op, for some milk, and realised I had not felt like stretching my legs in 350 miles non-stop. Why buy a 5 litre Gas Guzzler? The top speed difference can be counted on one hand, and the 3,600cc acceleration dries your mouth. Do NOT hit the Kickdown unless you have at least a mile clear in front of you

I have the cabrio version of this car and love it. The roof down in Australia makes up for the speed restrictions.

I have just purchased a low miles Japanese import - having had many classics and exotica this is the one I am enjoying the most......and yes I am saying this over a Dino 246gt, Venturi Atlantique and a TVR Cerbera 4.0

Fantastic ! I have a Nightfire Red one and I ❤️ it 🙏🏻👍🇬🇧

Fabulous!
