Looking to get an S-Type R

Well done buddy welcome to the Jaguar experience. That sounds nice don't forget to post some photos.
There is something about Jags you either get or you don't just like I don't get BMW's some don't get Jags .

Totally agree with John. 15 years ago when it was time to move on from my previous car I didn't think about a Jaguar until a driver friend of mine suggested the S-Type. This resulted in me getting my first Jaguar, an S-Type 4.0 V8, had it for 3 1/2 years. Replaced it with an S-Type 4.2 V8, had that for 10 1/2 years. Both were very low mileage demonstrators. I now have an XF 5.0 V8 Portfolio which I plan as a keeper; just a fab car in my view.

I'm looking forward to it, I'm a die hard BMW fan, but even if I had the money would never consider a new BMW. M is dead to me now. Jaguar however.... love what they are doing these days.

I bought one 2 weeks ago, love it!



I also opened a similar topic then, on what to look out for when buying, which has some good tips/pics and exhaust clips in it :

Picked it up this afternoon! It's superb! Already has a custom exhaust on it, and it sounds downright naughty! I love it!

The ride is amazing and those seats too, wow. Love it. Will get a new thread up soon.
