Get your Jags out - Show us your car

I wish my XK lump was that clean and shiny! Those XJ seats look very plump and inviting.
Re the plate issue, the DVLA have moved the cut-off date for allowing these to be legal, it now coincides with the rolling tax exemption so presently anything registered before 1/1/75 can have them. Naffness / non-naffness is a personal thing though. I'd imagine the black & silver plates on the OP's car cause a few scratched heads when other drivers come across it in the wild.
I read yesterday that the white Ian Ogilvy / Return Of The Saint XJ-S will be on show at the NEC Classic next month, in its original state before being sympathetiaclly restored / preserved by the Practical Classics bods.
(Scuttles off to look at the classifieds for a dreamy XJ-S purchase...

Bought an appopriate dealer sticker for my XJ this week off the bay... must sort that blasted trim out...

that is quite a machine, the dash gives it the "Jaguarness" that was criticized for its absence in the early XJ-S's.
engine looked absolutely stunning, on triples too
A car built to how yer Dad wanted it and using whatever he wanted to use to achieve it. Very envious of his collection,

Be happy! It's not compulsory for everyone to like the same stuff.
Here are a couple of cars that people are free to like or not like according to individual whim. A bloke I know in Toronto owns them - 1980s Sovereign and very late XJS. Apols for rubbish pics of the latter from his crowded garage.

What was whomever put those wheels on thinking?! That multi spoke style looks awful even on a BMW Alpina, IMO, and uber dire on that super Jag. Lovely car, anyway. Which proper Jag wheels will you choose for it?
I am assuming it was the person who put the engine in prior to the guy i have just bought it from. I am not sure on wheels yet but I'm tempted by a set of Dunlops or something similar because the Jag alloys of the time were all Kents and I dont really like them. The original 15 inch wheels won't allow a speed rating high enough for the tyres so 16s it is.
