XJ-R or an S-Type R, i like the look of both, they have good engines and I like em ::)
-
Totally ignoring your options ....... ::) ::) ::) ::)
Mk X/420G ;) ;) ;) ;)
but being serious ....... it'd have to be the XJ R. The S types have never really done it for me like the XJ's have. ;) ;) ;)

Quite fancy an XF. I'd even have a diesel one :o

There lovely :y Mind you saying that a normal XJ and not an R is still very nice but I dunno if I want a Jag :-/

xj

It'd have to be an X350 (2003-2007) XJ. I've driven both the 2.7 TDVI and 4.2 V8, and they're both great. Ideally I'd like a Daimler Super Eight, it's an XJ badged as a Daimler with nice extra's. The queen drives one :y
-
Never really been a fan - although I could be persuaded to pamper an XF 3ltr diesel should someone insist :y :y

My son deals in cars and had a Daimler Super Eight last year. Fantastic car all round, unbelievably fast with fantastic handling and every extra including active cruise control, which can be unnerving until you get used to it.
The car was 3 years old but had been stolen and recovered (carjacked) my son paid £11k for it. The original owner paid £65k!
I would love to own one but the running costs are astronomical.

Not worried about that, the mrs. drives the cars I buy, I drive the vans ;D On the odd occation I do drive the car I make sure there is a lot of fuel in there so I don't have to fill up ;D
-
Yeah, nice one, but it's not just the fuel costs, it's everything else with the supercharged cars. Group 20 insurance, specialist servicing, part prices, tyres and a hell of lot of toys to go wrong. That's why they are so cheap.
-
i do like the XJ's love the R version but when it comes to reality i would have to get the diesel. XJ will be cheaper than the XF, think thats going to hold its value better.
-
First of the XJ-Rs, early 90s, jet black, smoked wood / leather (of course) interior. Paint the chrome body-colour, and a copy of Drug Dealer Monthly on the back seat.
I dont know if there's a car anywhere that looks 'badder' mmmmmmmm...

ahh, now is that the long-nose, or the short-nose? (car bore question, I know!)

Short nose mate - its a '54. The '55 and '56 cars had the longer nose for higher top speeds.
[edit]Added - top speeds then in excess of 160mph from a 3.4 lit 6 cyl in line motor chucking out some 250 bhp, 4 speeder g/box .[/edit]

I had an XJ6 and a Daimler Sovereign VP back in the 80's. So of the XJ v S type I would love an XJR.
Of the other models I drove one of the 1st 5.3 XJS and a late 3.6 model and must admit I wouldnt mind owning a nice 3.6 XJS for a couple of years.
-
I used to have a diesel XF and I can honestly say it was the dogs dangly bits! The new 3l diesel is fantastic with 300hp and 500nm torque! All this while giving better mpg and lower emmisions than the 2.7 :o
Tried the XFR and that is a beast of a car, if I had the ponies for it I would have one now :y
-
I had a 1993 XJ40 with the 12 cylinder 6.0 engine, lovely car but it had on big problem, fuel economy or lack of it :o

Didn't realise the cops were carjacking to recover stolen vehicles. However 'an eye for an eye' ;D ;D ;D

Just to add to Andy B's comment the Mk 10 has to be one of the best cars ever made, bit thirsty I must admit and a pity there was never an estate version but totally gorgeous none the less.
-
XJ220, now before you all have a go.
I know it was a flop. I know it had a V6 out of a Metro rally car, not the promised V12, and it is probubly the most stupidly wide car ever.
But it looks just georgeous. And thats enough for me :)

XJ13 was nice as well.
-
Fair point, also very nice
-
and had a V12 in it. ::)

My friend got an xf 2.7 diesel.
Nice car but somehow the only Jag for me is the XJ.
Although XK-R would be nice to take for a spin ocasionally ;D
