Are the last pics of an Arden tuned Jag? Tbh though I don't like the wing, it doesn't suit the car.
 
Just updating that we have got rid of our X-Type for an S-Type SE Diesel in Quartz, 1 1/2 years old, 14,000 miles.

It's a great car, better than I expected it to be when got finally brought it home. It's quieter in every way, especially so with the engine as it's a DIESEL. On the motorway theres a bit of wind noise, but that can be easily ignored. The suspension is pretty soft too. Everytime I keep reminding myself "I must feel the bumps in the road to see how much better it is than the X-Type". I forget everytime because most of them are not felt at all.

The car is so comfortable, especially in the front seat, I literally fall asleep in it more than usual, with enough power to wake you up again when Dad does some country road overtaking (or when the sat-nav woman talks loudly... :grumpy:)... Just a little shame it's a little slower than what we had, but it still pulls along great.

Here is a picture of it I took on Friday, a day after it was cleaned inside and out and polished:

... or the fact that the worlds fastest production car once was a Jag; The XJ220!

Twice: the E-type was also the world's fastest production car ;)

I love the idea of Jags, but the reality is they lack the build integrity the Germans take for granted. A mate of mine had one recently and he had sooo much trouble with it, doors not opening, starting problems, gearbox failure etc. We'd warned him: "old Jags can be trouble..." but he didn't listen...:indiff:

I remember when the XJ40 model first came out (1986), I was selling Renaults at the time, and the Sales Manager brought one round for us all to drive, so we could compare it with our topline Renault 25s (as if they were competition...:lol:): it was fabulous, no louder at 90mph than it was at 40. Great car. But flawed :ouch:
 
I love XJ220 I loved it ever since the first time I saw it on Need For Speed hot pursuit when I was eight years old. I also love the old Jaguar look all of them are so smooth. Everything flows nothing looks ocward eddgy or out of place.

I also remember when the XJ40 came out, on the old Top Gear they tested the Jag against its rivals from Mercedes and BMW. One of the 3 had a complete electrical failure on test. I bet you don't which one, and no, it wasn't the Jag.
 
Does ANYONE share my anger with Aston Martin, and Ford?

Aston Martins success started with the DB7 developed Jaguar XJ41 which was to be the F-type. More about this can be found below.

This in my opinion has all led to the great success of Aston Martin and could lead to the end of Jaguar. Aston gets ALL the credit for wonderful designs even though the DB7 was the first beautiful "Aston" since the Italian designed Zagato of the 60's and Jaguar gets accused of COPYING.
 
Im a jag fan :)

My desktop is he XJR :) its black long and with a huge v8 :) who can complain.... well only the people in there Bmw's and Merc's as they picked the wrong car :)

Hello. I want to join the fan club! I drive a S-type V8 2003 model.I have it for less than a month...actually today it's a month since I've bought it.
I want to change some things on it(upper,lower grill, crome headlight trim, R type rear spoiler,suspension lowering kit...and some wheels for summer but something nice...not the pimpish kind!!!it's a Jaguar not a Caddi.
So if you know web sites with stuff made for Jaguar(not the cheapest) pls let me know!
Thank you and drive carefully!:)
