I shall never forget the comment that Tiff Needell made on these cars.:-

"It is the only car I have raced that understeered on the straight!"

Hungry for a good classic Jaguar I was tempted by this Today . No MOT for a decade raised some concerns though the red leather I found surprisingly attractive

Could it have been on a private plate for those ten years,hence not showing on the mot check?

Nice motor.

But it doesn't have the ride of a proper old school Jag.

That is lovely! Not keen on a vinyl roof or the wire wheels but it’s bloody nice
Roof is fine by me … the w/w not so much - same as you. Bit of a wide price guide on this one suggests they’re not quite so sure what price it’ll make …
Was only bid to 18K.

Yeah they're not great in my experience - i'd be very surprised if anyone that's actually driven one is paying the currently-inflated prices, let's put it that way. Still, got to admire Walkinshaw's efforts in spinning a load of dead JaguarSport parts stock in to a bunch of 'supercars' with their own race series.

Just a touch 'tart's bouduor', may look better with red carpets.....but those huge wheels and rubber bands for tyres will do the ride no favours.

As long as they are not "run-flat" tyres, the ride will be just fine.

Whilst I like the red leather, I didn’t like this model of XJ or its replacement.

The X350 could clatter about a bit over broken ground especially when fitted with the P6000 s . I would habitually switch these to Falken and then no issues .
I personally never liked the Sepang as a wheel though others rated them

I got down to see this yesterday only to find the car sat in front of the window and the garage closed . A bit sat to find the Callisto Wheels needing a proper cleaning as well as extensive chipping and scratching to the front of the bonnet and the front bumper . I accept its far from a new vehicle but at this money ?
