OK, that XJS buyer's guide had me hop on Craigslist to see what I could turn up. And this one is definitely not right for me... but it's $950 with a ton of spares to let you drop the budget even lower in Challenge math. Looks like one of those weird not quite a convertible models.

I know of one in virginia that runs and has an 80's periodtastic ground effects kit that could be had similarly prices
Take me down to Panama City, where the grass is green and the Jags are E36 M3ty, oh won't you please take me hooooooooooooooooooome...
Comes with an extra engine? All I can do now is imagine what a V24 sounds like.

Totally. Idle is like a Miata at 6k.
This is actually a pretty good deal. If I'm getting an xjs it will be a convertible.
Don't forget, after the challenge you can swap it to be carburated and take it to the Gambler 500...
