I had a '78 XJ6. It only let me down once in 20k miles of daily use.
Unfortunately daily use in a fairly wet climate basically killed it. It has a lot of problems which essentially boiled down to three categories:
1) Water ingress (to the interior and to the wiper motor mostly)
2) Rust (see water ingress)
3) Fuel consumption (LOL, I got about 15mpg around town)
My engine was getting prematurely pretty tired too...
I would still like one as a weekend car - yes, stuff will probably break, but it fundamentally simple to fix. It will rust if given a chance... but its not like it is any different than an older Porsche...
