The problem with the original XJ wasn’t leaking oil. It was Lucas electrics. Fun car to drive. When it ran.

Haha! The Prince of Darkness. My MGA was afflicted with them as were just about every Brit car of that period. the MG was 12 volt, + ground (Lucas referred to it as “positive earth.”) Two six volt batteries wired in series, located in a compartment behind the seats, open to the road below.
I’m beginning to miss that little oddball car... Sniff.
