It's an '86, second to last year sold in the US.

It looks reasonably decent, until yo get close. It has rust issues, and teh sunroof used to leak pretty bad, i guess, becasue the headliner is falling down. Mechanically it's pretty decent now, but that's due to a bunch of repair work I've had to do to it over the last few months (starter, sunroof seal, alternator, cam cover gaskets, forward catalytic converter, forward wiring harness, brakes, shocks, bushings, fuel pump and fuel filter, etc). Beautiful cars, but not the most reliable if not maintained perfectly from new (I've only owned this example now since October)

Once a car gets over a certain age it tends to have lots of problems, and older Jags definately suffer! I think now with the experience of Ford reliability has and will continue to improve. Well your car looks really great anyway! Do you have any others?

That's the only Jag I have. I used to have a MK VII, but that was a long time ago.
