MY old Triumph 2500S from 1976 could barely break the 20 MPG barrier even when driven gently in overdrive top. :)


       My Triumph 2.5 PI automatic was straining to get double figures the way I drove it🤣

TB checks driveway.  No, the BBP is still there.  Not that the BBP is a petrol. Or LWB.  But underneath the impressive layer of dirt, I think its the same colour ;D

I do think the design of the XJ has aged well. It's a handsome beast.

I was tempted by one of the last XJ 575 to be built at one point.

I was told I should grow up and buy a nice dependable diesel 1.2..... :-\ :)

A pig ugly arse can appears quite attractive after ten pints of Wifebeater 7% ABV. :)

The old original XJ had presence, class  and style, even if the non sporty versions were a tad pipe & slippers. Still on my bucket list of cars to own.
The more recent versions are just a Mondeo on steroids to me. May be very good cars, but I have zero interest in them .

Got to agree with you there , my favourite though has to be a 3.4 MK2 followed by the Mk10 my first boss had one in Golden Sand ( metallic bronze) always thought that the interior was fabulous, of course can't miss out the E Type still the most beautiful car ever produced in my opinion.
