Hi everyone - finally thinking about getting a Jag. I was desperate to get one about 11 years ago and ended up buying a dog followed by an E Class E320 estate. i still have it 11 years later. Don't hate me for going Merc. I still have had the craving for a Jag. I had originally been looking at S Types but have now changed to the old original (up to 2008?) XJ Jags. Every time I see one I drool. Okay here's the strange bit .... and I'd welcome views on how to proceed. I saw an advert on the forum for an XJ Sovereign to go to a good home. Ad says wife's car only driven for 500 miles for past few years. MOT checker says differently 3K, 5K, and 7K over the last 3 years. Thought I'd ring and throw a few questions to see if genuine or not. I'm a bit cagey when stories don't match. i rang the number and a lady answered - I asked for Steve and I said I was calling about the car, to which I was told you must have a wrong number. The poster seems only to have joined to post the ad as I can't see any posts. Am I being paranoid or is this a case of trust your instincts.

I believe it is a Lucas Opus ignition system and there used to be instructional manuals from Jaguar on the system which may still be available on eBay

Hi Abe, Welcome to the forum. I hope you find the car of your dreams. I have an S type and an XJ8 - 308 Love driving both but XJ8 is my favourite. Sorry for delay in replying have been busy over the weekend. I have removed the ad you responded to and will look in to it. Kind Regards, Julie.
