Does that make me weird? I did it three times using a Mk1 (facelift) Mondeo Estate in Dark Green... Worked better than you'd imagine it would with the bunting on - the rest of the time it doubled as a funeral car  Nice - I'm really hoping you did something a bit trashy with all that boot space, like filling it entirely with helium ballons and then opening the rear hatch at the venue..... I still think a Clio might be a stretch too far....

Love the in-car phone - although it presumably would no longer work? Oy! My M5s got one of those!

Aaah, more like it! Classic sheddage and obviously his week's detention worked wonders after last weeks debacle, eh Mr. Riggers?!

my father had a 1998 XJ6 from around 2002 -2006
was a cracking car, all black with beige leather
really comfortable car and did around 28mpg
I remember getting picked up from school in it and people always stopped and stared, and I went to quite a posh school, but it just had such presence

Superb! Likewise Riggers' return to superstar form; it's a bit like England losing 2-0 at home to Luxemburg one week and beating Germany 5-0 away the next. Riggers now has Icon Status in this house

V8Triumph said: If I only had £1000 to spend on a car, I'd be buying an XJ6. However, it'd probably be an XJ40. Great wafter - shedding at it's best. So many of these about that you can afford to be picky though and personally I'd choose any colour than black ... (or silver!) I would rather have an XJ40 too, I prefer them. It really is an excellent shed of the week though, tremendous value at this money and a lovely car.

Oh the 3.2 Jag XJ.
Had a Sov 3.2 and it got me and 3 mates to Salzburg twice, introduced us to the joys of unmarked German police Passats (W8's of course) and civilised waftability. Let my mate use it as a daily driver, his first car no less, and was well worth the 990 we paid for it.
A long wheel base version would be perfect, if I could afford the petrol. Oh the heady days, they will come again.
Top shed!

I can't read the LWB MPG meter, looks like 199?
I didn't know the XJRs had 'supercharged' on the tacho. Do the 6 cylinder XJRs have that on their tachometers too?

Excellent shed. My dad has a 3.2 Sovereign LWB of a similar vintage. He bought it when it was about 18 months old and in its 120,000 miles it has needed nothing other routine servicing, tyres and a battery. Still a joy to drive and a better quality interior than in my X308 Sovereign.

I never considered that but I loaned it to someone else (company car - insured for everyone, free petrol for everyone - MILK IT) and they did just that AND broke the tailgate doing it...

That is a seriously long car. I mean, is that even useable? Normal Jags tend to overhang parking bays, I can only imagine what a pain that would be to take to the supermarket...unless you are happy to park over two spaces near the back!
