I used to have a shop a few doors down from a British car mechanic. He worked on Richie Sambora's V-12 XKE and some of the other local celebrities cars. He thought they were great cars but crazy expensive to maintain. Inboard brakes, valves that got out of adjustment and took all day to get adjust with little shims. He said that the notorious Lucas electricals were fine once you replaced the switches - they just had lousy contacts. Sambora's car, of course, had a killer sound system.
