"What a Dumb-ass, what does he want one of those for..rah, rah, rah....cost of petrol, he claims to be bothered about global warming (where Im not!)...rah,rah,rah,etc,etc,etc"
Well, anyway, he came over one evening to show it off, and as soon as I saw it, I fell in love with it! I immediately saw what he saw in it, and for the price I was amazed. From that moment on I knew I wanted one too!
I thought it would be a bit of a stupid expense, just for a weekend car, and I agonised about whether I should get one.
I trawled e bay, on the look out, just as a casual observer really. And then I saw it. My Jag...Im not saying how much I got it for, but it was a *very* good price. Here are some pictures
Look at the long snout on this cat :-)
The tyres are P600's and are huge! The car holds the road like its on rails
The interior is grey leather and is in good condition. There is lots of walnut. At some point I would like to get all new carpets, but there isn't a lot wrong with the ones in already.At the moment, I am having the headlining re-done, and the air con needs servicing (its the old R-12 connectors I have and I need to get them changed to the new R-134a. Apart from that, the car is in great condition, and the 4 litre engine just loves to purr along.
The car its self, is low, wide and very very long. The cockpit is very comfortable - electric leather seats. However, even though there is a rear seat, you would have to be a midget or a contortionist to enjoy a comfortable ride there. Anyway, as the driver, I don't care, because I get to drive the beast!
The six cylinder motor is as smooth as you would expect, and once you nail the throttle on the motor way, you are lulled into thinking you are going slower than you actually are.
As my weekend toy, it is brilliant. I wouldn't like to commute in it everyday though - especially with petrol prices as high as they are!
