[leginigel]

I have just purchased a 1999 XJ V8 3.2,which is the better engine the 3.2 V8 or the 4.0 V8 come to that what's the difference between the sport and nonsport is it just down to trim,chrome versus black.I see some one on this forum has asked are the Jag V8's going up in price,well after driving one about for a hold day they should or will long term show up a different beast?

Hi Thanks,I got this car from a the local cafe owner,It was his dads who can no longer drive,it's one owner full service histroy with a 130,000 miles,in dark blue.Body and engine all look very good,it needed a aerial and driver side mirror glass,then I was in the breakers I found a set of genuine jag mats all four in the right light brown colour with the word JAGUAR picked out in red on the front mats.When I got back to my yard I gave it a clean out and my mate's going to give a full service and MOT while I'm away in Egypt until 24th,we are round his on boxing day so hope we can talk cars,we will talk cars or planes it's all we ever talk about,I have not driven this JX because the battery was flat when I picked it up,but realy looking forwards to having a good run out.

Had the Jag MOTed and all is fine,went for a drive,first time on the open road for two years and it never broke down on me,and was very nice to drive,I will put some picture up as soon as I have time.
