Well, it's nearly my birthday and although I really wanted the Lotus Esprit that I saw at the weekend, the practicalities of a 2 seater sports car when I don't even have a drive to leave it in, and a 75 mile round trip to work, made me think a loat about the R reg XJ6 3.2 sport that I saw at a garage late on saturday night.

Having also looked on autotrader, these look like a complete bargain given that they must have cost a bomb new, and you can get a 98 car for around 6k.

OK, so what should I look out for? What are the running costs and reliability like (see the commute comment)? I'm aware of the Nikasil problem but was that just the XJ8s.

TIA, CH
