jaguar XJ40, love em or hate em?

[taldo50]

i used to have a 1994 Jaguar xj6 3.2s in flamenco red or whatever they call it, and i truly loved it and miss it to this day, it was just magical after the 3 BMW's id had previously. sadly i had to part with it after it started to go wrong but im really hankering after another! does anyone else have the same fond affection for the model or is it just me???

Is that the one with the retangular headlamps?

Not my fave looker I must say.

no they had the four round lamps, the xj40 sovereign did have big square ones however and i agree they werent brilliant lookers in that guise.

such a shame how that one deteriorated in the wrong hands looked lovely when you had it though!

Had one the same.

Really loved it. Then it developed a fault with the suspension. Sold it on Ebay for about £400.

I want my Sovereign 4.0 back. It had mint lattice sports on by the time I got rid of it. Absolutely beautiful car.

PS: I prefer the square headlamps. I think it fits the angular styling better than the comparitively 'stuck on' round ones.

Active rear dampers perchance?

How ever did you guess?
