That is near me, the seller seems to find a succession of cars like that which need recommisioning. He's had quite a few Jensen Interceptors, Rolls Royce and Bentleys.
Luckily I now accept that recommisioning a car is not something that I'm up to so I'll give it a miss

It looks OK to me. In fact, better than the white 3.4 Series 2 I bought back in 1988.

That XJ will be a nightmare. Been there, done that. They are a nice museum exhibit but as a car to use, forget it. There is only one way to buy one of those and that's to spend a lot of money buying a perfect example that has been maintained regardless of cost. Anything less is a big hole into which you shovel lots of tens and twenties.
