Especially the Jag. I’ve always liked the look of that model series but I’ve heard horror stories about the many weak spots. My mechanic guru, owner of two 350SD models, owned a V12 sedan years ago. He said the front end was weak, and of course the electrics are a problem. I gather the V12 sounds great while it’s still running.

I saw a 6 cyl. XJ in a boneyard a few years back with absolutely cherry seats and only a few small marks on the body. There is no way in hell a Ferrari in that shape, of that vintage would be in a boneyard.
