A good mate of mine recently got rid of an xjr v8 supercharged, he'd had it 4 or 5 years and sold it for £1700. He made himself some new charger pullies and it was silly silly quick, had shagpile carpets and a old school car phone on a coiley lead too! Cool as!
It did however handle like a boat and it was bloody dangerous with the traction control turned off. It had an insatiable taste for bushes at the front end, genuine ones are silly money and aftermarket ones just don't last.
The rear diff exploded but these are plentiful from breakers, he also had a bit of trouble with the lambdas (there's 4+ from memory), think these were damn expensive too.
Awesome car if you can afford the juice! My brothers 405mi annihilated it through the twisties
