Just look at some of those beautiful Jags

[GinG]

What costs exactly do you want to know?

Roughly the worst service is 500 quid the cheapest is 200 quid.

Use a good specialist dont go near a main dealer, the best 2 i have found are Les Paul in Essex and Surrey Jag in Croydon.

Make sure it drives quietly no noise from the suspension, the suspension does wear out on these and is a grand to refresh.

Buy a car 2002 onwards, preferably 2004 onwards but importantly after 2002.

Reliable cars drive great, dont buy a 2.5 same costs as a 3 litre.

The 4.2 is a lovely drive and the R is just fast as **** but with brembo brakes that are dear to sort out.

I love them but not as much as XJ's

Seems a bit of a 'bargain' 400bhp motor. I would have thought there be more love of these.

What price are brembos, £1000 all round for disk & pads?

You need to buy that S Type Mark, you NEED to.

I could have had this one for good money before they got it, at least i think it was that one, same reg, miles a description.

Iv seen them for less than that on e bay, but fitted probably 800 quid all round.

Some cracking looking motors in the first link, pass several expensive car garages on the way to work but the one about 10 mins from my house is my favorite:

His stock is a little low at the moment but he's sold some epic cars, he had an F40 and Enzo at the front of his shop a few weeks back, which is impressive for a garage that only has enough showspace for 5 - 8 cars.

He had a stunning looking 512TR and 308GTS in about a month back.

Just look at that Bentley Brooklands, what a tool them.... for about 170k

Im a bit gutted Jag have gone so diesel orientated to be honest, but i suppose they have to make what sells.

In the next 3 years the XJ will have 3 extra petrol engines

Good job, i was still a bit gutted they couldnt find a petrol to lend me, how do they hope to sell them.

Which bit, you have so much to look at! If i had 170k to spend i wouldn't blow it on a Brooklands, few classic Ferrari's, M3 CSL and something 4wd.

If my mileage starts to cut down these could be very tempting, cost a bit of a fortune whilst doing 600 miles a week currently.

Are the engines pretty bullet proof on these?

 

[Robbo]

You can say that i've got no taste and all that

but if i'd won the £130 millon on the euro millions i'd be clearing this guy out

Yea good strong engines, make sure you buy one with a good history though.

That 1970 4.2 litre XJ6 is gorgeous.

Snap. Ive always liked these!

I'm loving this one: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2069498.htm

Such an awesome side profile!

And when did they change the rear on the S-Type? I swear I've never seen one with the lights in the link Mark posted?

 

[mast3r]

Does he own these cars to use them or is he a dealer?
