New or old? Either way, it's a lot of car for cheap.
For a newer one, look at the post-square-headlight mid-90's model, pre XJ8. You'd get the benefits of Ford's quality control improvements. XJ8 are good too, but more expensive.
For an older one, I like the XJ6 series III that ended in 1987. Nice round headlights, crazy bonnet shape, etc... Substandard automatic transmission, but a nice car in every other respect. This has vertical slats in the grille, whereas the series-II had horizontal slats and had a zenith stromberg carburetted engine. Watch out for rust on any of these older cars. You should be able to find an enthusiast appreciated car though.
Jag-lovers.org is the place on the internet for all the knowledge.
