About this site

This site will describe my ownership of an XJ12C.  I will start with the searching and finding of the car in ’98 and then will review work done to the car, activities and future ideas I have for improvement.

I have owned many cars, but none has been as rewarding or frustrating as owning this coupe.  Here’s an example….this morning I went for a drive.  With the 4 windows down, the pillar less design feels almost as open as my convertible.  The engine felt strong and sounded excellent.  After a hard run on the freeway, it started to stumble a bit.   I was expecting this to happen and am starting a project designed to address the issue.  This has never been a drive and forget it car.

I came into ownership of the car with high interest and enthusiasm, average mechanical abilities and experience and have learned a whole lot in the last 20 years or so of ownership.

I hope you find this interesting, and if you own any XJ variant, maybe there will be some useful information here for you as well.

Please have patience as I add information to the site…..here goes……..
