Mine is only going for $100 more than that on BaT today, and had EFI. Sigh.

I mean, I get why people do this but, to me, half the fun of an old jag the XKE straight six or v12. I wonder how much it would cost to put a v12 back into this.

Why is the engine so far forward. Is that normal for these conversions?

I know I've ragged on your XJS for being a neutered cat, but it's loads better than this one.

I've come to the realization that some people are convinced that Jags are on the same level as Rollers and Bentleys, that's why some heaps like that show up with stupid prices so often.
