I do loves be some Jag XJS. This one looks like a real deal straight rust free car. Doesn't run, so.....

Something smells fishy. A Jaguar (that's a cat, right?) from "Los Gatos" California?

Yes, Los Gatos is a real place, there is even a Ferrari dealer there.

The Jag looks like a steal if it stays within challenge budget.

Los Gatos is a really rich area, only time I ever saw the new Bugatti was there. I'm not much impressed by snobbery though and their brewing company didn't impress me either. To put it mildly, money cannot buy class and style.

Nice looking Jag though.

I admire those as well, and the price looks promising. Whenever I see one however, I'm reminded of a motorhead friend with huge carbuilding credentials who had one for about two months, ran into the first repair, realized what parts cost and promptly sold it at a loss - and felt he got away lucky.
