Get your Jags out - Show us your car

[_Leg_]

Helped a neighbour out today with his daughter's wedding as a favour. Quite enjoyed myself doing the chauffeur thing.

I love that colour on an XJS is it yours?.

It is mine! I bought tailormade grey lambs wool over rugs earlier in the year which make the interior a lot nicer place. Its passed it's MOT earlier this month with no advisories? The underneath is perfect as is the rest of the car.

Great car and great photo.

Cue the "that's not a ford, its the cooling system gone for a burton" cheap joke.

I got sick of wasting money on my Bentley GT and went back to Jaguar ownership.
This time it's an XFR Le Mans edition. Fabulous car.
Pictured here at the St Saturnin car show at this years Le Mans 24 HR.

its a great looking XJS love that colour. I do wish I could find my post from about 4 or 5 years ago when I said XJS prices would rise significantly as all the bad ones where now more or less gone. Oh how I wish I had taken my own advice and kept my 6.0l there is nothing quite like an XJS

My bad one is soldiering on! 195,000 miles and counting!

But you're right, you very rarely see an XJS of any level of niceness, and I never see clearly ropey ones on the road any more. Except mine.

looks like my old Car. I went to see a 6.0l recently but space and the thought of an expensive divorce prevented me buying it.

I photographed a friend's wedding this afternoon. Also supplied the car - something borrowed, something blue!

[mattuk89]

Picked up this last week, coming from an b8.5 Audi s4 avant which I was spending a small fortune on fuel, so only gone for a poverty 2.2 diesel, Thought of getting an S, but with a baby coming this month wanted something that fights the temptation to speed, although it’s still quite brisk with 200ps.

Stratus grey R-Sport Black edition, pretty decent spec on it, even though it’s missing an exhaust pipe.

Plan to retrofit folding mirrors other than that cars perfect.

I have kept it and sold the XJ8 instead just need to do a few jobs on it like the wheels and the blacked out rear quarters and the sports exhaust.

Please to hear it John! The car looks very nice, are you planning on buying new wheels or refurb the old? Do these cars rust more than the 'normal Jag'?

[johnxjsc1985]

They do have a lot of rust issues to consider floor pans, wheel arches etc. I like the wheels so probably just a refurb.
The Sports exhaust sounds wonderful but you can feel the vibrations inside the Car so that will have to go or put a couple of back boxes on to see if that helps.
The photo is quite flattering its in good condition but not quite as good as the photo suggests.
