Charlie, thank you.

 

Given a choice of Jag, I'd have an XJS.

 

 

But only if I couldn't get a Triumph Stag.

 

 

Or both....

I remember when the XJS came out and they opened the hood on that V12...all the mess of vacuum hoses and rats nest of wires.  Given Jag's "stellar" reputation for reliability, looking back, I can understand why Lane killed himself.   TWICE.

Don't care, mate. The XJS was, and remains, a thing of beauty. And I got to drive an XJ40 once with the V12 in it. Sensational.

Given that a V11 is absolutely reliable, with no maintenance issues or recurring problems, I can see why you might be concerned about the reliability of another vehicle. I try not to worry too much about that. If I like it, I like it.
