I doubt I would get my dogs crate in the back of that. Totally impractical rich mans toy. Good job you've got the signum for trips to the tip.

Of course. :)

......except I'm not rich.
You won't be if you keep buying jags.  ;D

Very nice :). Although for a man of your advancing years, perhaps something a little easier to get in and out of would be more appropriate?  ;)

You may be right, Jimmy. Something terminally dull but accessible may be more suitable for an elderly gent waiting for the grim reaper.


Something like a diesel Volvo perhaps. ::)

That's the spirit! With plenty of space in the glove box for a spare colostomy bag :).

In all seriousness it's a really nice car. I would not have one in red mind you. A bit "mid 80's pornographer " for my tastes.

Is the performance gap between this and the XFR noticeable?

Yes....but not night and day different.

It has an extra 50 BHP (550 Ps) but even with AWD which this one has weighs about 250 KG less. It is properly quick. :y

They do look and sound great.

Not sure how well there selling thou.

One of the dick vehicle movers at Castle Brom would always open it up thru the rattle repair bay just for the noise.

Know a few guys who work in finance and internal audit at JLR and apparently they aren't meeting what was hoped. Then again I think they're just too expensive.

My old boss was all geared up to swap from his 4.2 XF for one but just couldn't justify the monthlies.

Not much keen on the styling myself. None of the grace and elegance of Jags of old.

I rather like the styling, the only things I don't like are the colour (as above) and the engine.

If I'd paid close to a 6 figure sum for 5L and 550bhp, I'd want to see more than a plastic cover. Opening the bonnet on my dad's e-type presents you whith beautiful chrome rocker covers and a "proper" engine block.
