That is so utterly tempting to buy if I had that much.

Yep, but the suspension is even more fussy than on the Omega :o

It is indeed Paul, it's taken me some time and great expense to get mine just right. It's an 06 4.2 N/A sovereign, and it was terrible. Many XJ owners complain of suspension issues. But, other than that I think the X350 XJ is a lovely car.

If you are going to get an XJ and LPG it, might as well do it right and have it with V8  :)

I've never experienced such a frightening drive as when I had to drive the Brother in Laws XJR a few months back :o It was impossible to keep it in a straight line with the play all over the suspension, and it had just passed an MOT :o

Now I admit that I am more fussy than many and less funny than others, but if it wasn't for the fact I was the only sober one in the car I would have refused to drive after getting it up to 20mph ::)

That's a bit fast for you Paul  ;D
I'm not really fussy when it comes to suspension, I can live with most things, but the XJ really can be terrible.

Talking of towing... I'll send you a quick PM :y

Edit: No I won't, your inbox is full ::) Sent via email instead :y

Have to say the X350 XJ6 is a great car to drive and own - certainly enjoying mine (@83K miles!)

This one seems overpriced @179K miles though - there are lower mileage examples about if you look.
