....just got it LOL......i had the straight 6 XJR before cracking car...but now gone to V8 370bhp and 380ft/lb torque version All i can say its cheaper than the BMW and a lot cheaper than the F-Car.......just had the 348 serviced... £2200

The XJR is VERY fast a car where if you turn traction control off in Sport mode you just light the tyres up

How much do supercharged XJR V8's go for then ? I am very surprised they are less than an 840/850 tbh

4k will get you a ropey straight 6 XJR which may be best avoided!
