Thought I’d better say hello as I might need some moral support along the way. After 150+ cars, I’ve finally taken the leap and purchased my first Jaguar, well, Daimler if we’re being picky.
After a 2 year stint of buying the iconic super saloons; Mercedes W124 E500, Audi C5 RS6 and the BMW E39 M5, I had to try out the Jaguar version too.
This is mine, a low owner supercharged V8 that I’ve read is the Gentleman’s XJR. It’s already popped the engine light on so it’ll be going for a full check up at XJ Services in Leicestershire before I can really get to enjoy it, but early signs and a 450 mile journey show early promise.
Yep, it’s one of the things that I liked about it, the best Aluminium body, amazing engine and sublime interior. Just feel its super elegant and timeless.
That’s the one. I actually did a direct exchange for my E39 M5, so no ‘real’ cash involved. I just fell in love with the elegance of this one. only 2 owners and seems nicely maintained. A really exclusive car and just fancied one rather than the other German super saloons i’ve recently owned.
Expensive! I was watching the prices of the XJR’s which seem high and felt this just had more stye and exclusivity, but with exactly the same engine.
