That'll teach it!

Mine has lived outside but under a cover for four years now.

Make sure the cover is cannot move in the wind otherwise your shiney new paint will suffer fast.

Also if leaving it for more than 2 weeks pump the tyres up to the maximum.

Both very hard learned lessons.

If you need the space I think I've got £1,500 quid somewhere, but you'll have to put the new box back in first, obviously subject to a satisfactory test drive..........

Vince,

Welcome to the world of real XJSs! As you know, my convertible has lived outside for the last 11 years and she still cleans up OK. It'll also make you drive the car more often which can only be a good thing.

Maybe we should push for a new concours class of "Real cars that don't live inside a garage"!
