Byron, my '97 XJR daily driver is the same color as yours....carnival red.
I bought the car on a whim (and definitely for a bargain. i bought it last summer when gas was $5 a gallon; paid less than 4K for the car), and it's been one of my favorite cars so far. Goes like stink, super comfy, and classy.
I'm at 160K miles on mine, and it's still pristine. the PO was anal about maintenence; oil changes every 3000 miles with only factory jag oil filters, etc. the car came with a brand new battery....the factory jag battery...when i bought it.
once i get some time to do it, i plan on doing the supercharger pulley swap, and put a free flow exhaust system on that bad boy....
