Default So I found a runaround!

A rather nice Jag XJR, black with black leather, full options and full service history, immaculate condition.

Mileage is approx. 88.000 but am I right in assuming that these engines are capable of big mileage?

It's a 4 litre V8 with compressor so I don't think it is stressed very hard?

I used to have an XJ so I'm familiar with Jags but what's the XJR like to drive? I have yet to take a testdrive!

Is the compressorwhine very audible and what's the performance like in a straight line?

The v8 supercharged ones are awesome luxury barges, the relentless way they accelerate is fantastic

Snot good enough.


I love Jags, especially the older ones up to about a D plate. Although a X type in black looks nice.

all modern engine are capable of big mileage if serviced correctly - buy on condition and not mileage
