Hi all, I’m about to buy my first Jag an XJ X350 variant and having come across many Japanese imports which seem good value but are they or better to go for a good UK car? 
 

Reading the forums posts I see I’d have to change the Speedo to MPH, which I’d have to get done (I’m no mechanic.)

so avoid and go UK car? Thanks

Hi Benjamin,

I did have a s type import.

Yes pain having to convert KPH to MPH, did buy a plug in converter that went on dash but did spoil look of car somewhat.

It used to speak to me in Japanese when I got in.

It had a strange aerial attachment on bumper, many Japanese cars do.

It was a lovely rust free car.

 I asked dealer to remove and repair aerial as they had promised and supply the spare 

key as advertised, may be I was a little too aggressive.

They collected the car, last I saw of it, they refunded my money by cheque next day.

Kind Regards,

Julie.

Thanks Julie that’s helpful. Think I will stick to UK cars and do my best to get a good one. Now it’s between the 4.2 V8, XJR or Super 8 so narrowing it down.
