Byron,
I just did the same thing! Got a "one of a kind" V-12 Jag that they made only 100 of back in the '90's and sold only in Canada. Now that its over 15 years old and due to the low number made the US is allowing for importation.
Picked it up on the Canadian/American border in Washington state and drove it home in 2.5 days last month. Smooth as can be and a real cruiser, made it 1800 miles with not one hiccup.
Jags are just like any other car in most ways, and if its taken care of from day one they will usually be reliable. If its not taken care of then later on in life it will show it.
Hope you enjoy it! Mine is a 1992 XJ, last year that Jag made that body style and this one has every option there was, special paint, the best burl wood, hand made seats and was built by hand on a special line. The car looks like new inside and out.
