I also own a '8O Executive and a '71 Series One. I agree the cars are very elegant in appearance and reasonably reliable. The car is great when running properly and has a huge fan base. But neither car is quite in the league reliability wise with the '75 Ford Granada Coupe and '72 Merc 280 SE that preceded these Jags in my life. Ford and Mercedes I would and did go everywhere in, in absolute confidence. Unfortunately I do not have such confidence in taking the Jags too far from home.
