My father is considering purchasing a MK II. Could anybody offer advice regarding what to look for, eg. trouble spots...

Thank you in advance.

3 things : Rust, Rust, and .... Rust !

these cars are oherwise great and most problems can be repaired easily, parts are available but rust is expensive. Panels are available, as well as donor cars, but cost will quickly go thru the roof unless you can do the work yourself...

It's a very drivable car, like most Jaguars really, we have club members who drive theirs regularly and really enjoy it.
