I almost bought a 66XKE with the V12 used. It ran perfect, very smooth at high rpm. The aluminum body condition scared me off. Will always remember that ride in it.

I was plagued with overheating issues in my '60's Jaguar motorcars.
A car savy friend bought a beautiful late-90's XK8 in 2000.
He told me about sitting in traffic on the Ventura fwy and having the radiator expansion bottle blow up.
Apparently, Jaguar still hadn't quite got the overheating issues fixed thirty-plus years later.

England has a cool climate. However, my MGB never overheated while I owned it...
