Before They Were Beaters - Jaguar XJ-S

How can you inner American-circa-1976 possibly resist this advertisement?

Of course, the XJ-S is distinctly English but somehow this ad makes me want to see what glass packs sound like on a V12 while I power-brake it. The car looks great in Buick beige with the Anglo-Magnum 500s and it makes a stunning Trans-Am entry too. If only it had a vinyl top...

Recently, the XJ-S's low rent strip club owner image has been in the beginning stages of a transformation. Companies like KWE are now offering vast amounts of spare parts as well as refurbished vehicles for sale as practically new neo-classic vehicles.
