Ah...the classic 'bank robber' Jag.

A four seater saloon that would hit 125 MPH back in the sixties. No wonder Mr Plod couldn't get near them in his Anglia or Austin 1100.  :y

The first time I ever travelled at 100mph (when I was about 8 years old) was in one of those. Never forgotten it and had a soft spot for them ever since.  8)

crap, I bangered 3 of these and a daimler 250, , as they were worth nothing then,most i paid was a ton, for the daimler,in my defense they were typical of the era and very rusty,however still strong,sounded great around the then mud tracks of hagbourne and nettlebed, and a few other places,standlake etc!
Honest i didnt know any better when i was  in my high teens early 20,s ::)

Nostalgia rules ok - had a '64 3.8S back in the late 60s - wish I'd kept it, along with loads of other "classics" I've owned

Love these, although I actually prefer the exterior look of the (slightly) later 240, the 3.8 makes a lovely noise though!

The car looks a nice one, although for me, I'd prefer wire wheels and a colour other than "prosthetic limb beige" :P
