Hello, I have a Jaguar XJ-S 5.3 HE V12, Le Mans version, S/N 232 of 280. Low mileage, beautiful condition. Signal red. Been using Esso Synergie 99 + to avoid E10 fuels. This fuel in fact has no ethanol in it but has to have an E5 sticker on the pump. Happy motoring folks.

Second attempt, as the photo link in the other post broke almost immediately.

I'm 45 and this is my daily driver. It's a bit childish and it has a bit of a drink problem, but this car really has made me enjoy driving again. The positive attention and questions from strangers it attracts when out and about is ridiculous. I honestly wouldn't believe it if I hadn't experienced it.

Love these, what a wonderful car.

Yes, drove a few Beta's back in the day and this one jumped out at me.

Saw a great Harry's garage when he tried out a recently-restored Volumex coupe. Said it felt very modern and drove "like a GTI" which was meant as a complement. In my book it's miles better than the contemporary GTI.

Thanks, I agree with you. This car was restored by the same people as the Harry’s Garage one

Just thinking back to my early days of driving, and when I was 23 I tried to buy a (one-owner low miles FBMWSH) E30 Sport Evo when I got my first full time job, with a daily round trip commute of 110 miles. Spent nearly a day on the phone trying to arrange insurance before I gave up on the idea. The car was £14k at the time, and seemed to sit at the BMW dealers for a few months before someone else bought it

32 and a half.

09 Abarth esseesse
06 Aston V8 Vantage

Coincidentally, each on approx. 32k miles.

Some great combinations on this thread, and I think this might be one of my favourites

Very nice indeed. After watching the vid, I spend a few weeks popping in and out of that garage's website drooling over the HPE & Coupe on sale at the time.

Very tempting - a relatively modern and very usable classic.

I miss my E92 M3. But I’m saving a fortune in fuel!

I'm still in the same car. 62k miles now. And I'm 45!

Still miss the M3.

My every day car is a chrysler 300c 5.7v8, had it for years, it's up to 208000 miles but runs and drives really well, it's a good motorway milemuncher.
My second car is a 1984 Lincoln town car, certainly turns heads.

[jamies30]

I'm 50.

Alfa Romeo RZ which I've had since '98, Abarth 595 which I've had since last year, and Saab 93 Wagon which we've had for about 10 years. I think this is the only picture I have of the Saab, which tells you something.

[Alex0904]

Well, alright then.

I generally mosey around Gloucestershire and Wiltshire in a 3 litre 916 Alfa GTV. Not sparkling to look at but mechanically and electrically sound. And quick enough for it to be reasonable fun.

I occasionally yank my V8 R8 out of the garage for a bit of a blast. But the piece de resistance for me is my pristine 1985 Alfetta GTV6. All original and stunningly beautiful. I met a chap this week, not that far away, who has an even better one though. And his has a 3.5 litre bored out ex Alfa75 engine in it! As he let me drive it I'm now wondering if i can ever afford to buy it from him... It's a Helluva machine.

68 and just retired.

2018 R8 V10 Spyder, bought new
2018 540i X-drive
2010 911 Carrera 3.6
2014 Golf 1.4 Tsi, daily driver



There is also a 3.0 Z4 and a recent addition purchased in July at auction as a bit of an unknown quantity. It's a 1950 Lanchester LD10 that has been returned to the road this week after twenty one years in a dry garage. The plan was preservation rather than restoration, so a thorough service, check over and some serious cleaning produced good results.

Love it , but that car is positively grown up compared to my hot hatch , and I’m 48 . I seem to have always had a hot hatch in my life ,great cars for a fun blast . Nobody knows what my car is so very few people comment on it when out and about . Just a Yaris with stickers on it to most .

Lovely all of them - well except the Golf but it does make sense to have it in the collection (tip, station & supermarket car)
