Hmm I don't really think seat MPVs should be on this thread.

How retro is it? Looks about four years old

Um, it's not retro. This thread isn't just about retro. It's a 2009.

Interesting - No
Classic - No
Retro - No
Barge - No.

Wak Wak Oops.


That 280CE, on the other hand, is bang on.

I like that, but I have very mixed feelings about those lattice wheels. Don't sit well with facelift car for me, particularly with the big bumpers.

[CharlesdeGaulle]

I'm with you on that, not a fan of the lattice at all actually. Decent-looking car though.

I quite like the wheels on it

Although I really shouldn't venture on to Car And Classic as I've an empty garage and money sat in the bank after the 924 sold

I like it, but I'm pretty sure it's not in the right place

I would not be put off by the wheels as it is the work of a mere half hour to change them. Live the rest of the car a lot, with one exception. Is that rather louche-looking chrome gear knob standard?

And without the muppetry, they're worth a lot more

Some lovely Classics there. I'd love to have a rummage through that yard.

That looks great. Can't beat velour. Good spot.

As an aside from all these lovely cars, I'd just like to throw this out there.
I've put new tyres on the XJR and it has been transformed. The Conti Sportcontact 5P were surprisingly shocking. Tramlined like nothing I have ever driven before and only lasted a tad over 9,000 miles.

A full set of Dunlop SportMaxx all round - wow. Feels like a Jag should do.

That is all.

That seems extravagant, even by XJS standards.

Glad it's running well now though. We must be due photos aren't we?

Erm.. I suppose another readers thread could appear.
I'll see what I can do
