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

You must have had that 6 or 7 years now ?
How time flies.

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.....

Its passable from the front of side, but by god, its got a pig ugly arse.

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.

Yes I had 2.4 and 3.4 when I was 18. I have an X350 4.2 XJL V8 now.
