For a Jag XJ series III I would expect to pay around $4000 to $6000 for a decent example that isn't loaded with problems. Once in a while you get a not-bad one for less but usually there's lots of work to do in that case.
A perfect V12 Vanden Plas with low mileage might go for as much as $13000 but we're talking about a show-room car that smells and looks brand new.
I picked up a 1985 XJ6 for $500 but of course this is more of a make-work project. The engine needs a new cylinder head (I'm actually replacing it with a working V12 engine). The body needs some work, new paint, etc. The headliner and dash board need to be restored. It needs new suspension bushings, wheel bearings, and a number of other things. The important part is that the body is sound and thus we have a solid base on which to build a great XJ.
I have my own XJ website: (Removed URL link as per our T&C's) but I haven't updated it recently as I've put my car work on hold for the winter. I'll produce more updates soon.
