So as I’ve mentioned before, I’m considering a summer car for weekends. I commute to work since it’s faster ... today I cam across this and it looks to be in decent shape?
Any known major problems to look out for? NPOCP?

Electrical and cooling problems galore. Are you prepared? Do you have Maple Leaf AAA? You’ll need it.
A reliable V12 coupe would be the SL600 from 94-00, but it wont be that cheap. I own an SL600, and have had basically no issues with the motor. It’s old and overdue on maintenance, but in all honesty, not something that will break the budget. If you beat the car up, yeah, it’ll cost you, but if you’re nice to it, it will be nice back.
I would consider an I6 version over the V12 though, Jag or Benz. Easier to work on by yourself with mere plebeian tools.

Talk him down to $2k and it might be worth the aggravation to drive around in a V12 grand tourer in british racing green.

Any major problems? Well, I can see one in those pictures. It’s called (drumroll please)... a Jaguar XJS.

Oh, hey, I think it’s one of the years with the Dana rear axle, too - that doesn’t share parts with the rest of the run.

Part of me says you’ll have a ton of issues. Part of me says go for it.

ALL the electrical problems and some valve issues. Maybe a LS swap candidate... Unless you love them and are ok with throwing money at it, stay away unless you get a really good deal (less than $2K)

Nothing good happens in there man.
