Have your eyes wide open. Series XJs are lovely but I've never heard of an unrestored one that wasn't hiding catastrophic corrosion.
Series 2s are also the ugliest and least reliable, having been made in the darkest BL days with terrible component supplies. That sort of money would get you a newer, faster, lighter, more economical and reliable Aluminium XJ. I know which I'd rather have, despite it not looking as good.
