On board cpu shows 31mpg average and it has 300hp. Not stupid fast, but enough to get the job done.

Epa says it should get 28hwy and in my experience that number is always low. Epa ob the wagon was 24hwy and I got 27-28.
Im freaking excited. They're throwing in coffee mugs that match the trim, a valet attachment that hooks onto the headrest and a land rover button up shirt and a jaguar button up shirt.
Its the little stuff that makes me happy.

Please do, they charge like $90 a bottle for smoke at the dealer!
Seriously though, post Lucas and post plastic timing chain tensioner, the xj became a fairly reliable car and the ride and interior quality are jus insane.

Loving this new computer.

Thanks Vas!
I've always had a soft spot for Jags.....
This one is very clean, one owner, always maintained at the dealer. This dealer is actually pretty picky about what they keep on the lot (they've got a separate lot that doesn't share the name for stuff that doesn't check out)

They had XKR-S #100 in the showroom....that's #100 of 100
Freaking gorgeous car!

OK.
After some thinking, the 4speed is going in for a rebuild on the 5th march.
While we have it out, 2nd 3rd and 4th will get some short ratio gears.
I have the money to do the 5speed conversion.
However, I dont think spending 15k on this old hot rod is a wise idea.
Should be good.
