291K? Congratulations! Highest I've heard of was over 400 US miles some
years ago. The owner sent us a picture, the car looked like new.

Actually, at that mileage you're into uncharted waters. If the previous
owner maintained it the powertrain should be fine, although the Lucas engine
management system can stall momentarily if the connectors to the air flow
meter have not been upgraded, a factory fix.

X300 exorcised many of the XJ40s demons, like the ride leveling system,
leaky Adwest steering racks replaced by ZF, battery capacity, bulb failure
modules & other goofy electrics. It still had some issues with poorly set up
differentials that howled, however at that mileage if it had been so
afflicted the unit has probably failed and been replaced by now. Otherwise
it's a "wait and see". Great car!
