S-Type 2.7D XS. Here's a few taken on the day of arrival:

Looking good

All apart from the front end. I'd be sorting that mesh out.

[TW]Fox · 1 Apr 2006 at 20:03

Wow, thats nice

Good luck cleaning those wheels though :eek:

Nice. So how much that monster set you back?

v_man · 1 Apr 2006 at 20:06

The mesh is part of the sports collection package.

Minus the part-exchange, it cost me £22,000. The diesel engine in this thing is just amazing.

So you paid more for it to be like that? Or that was just how it came and you're gonna change it?

It's a limited edition version of the S-Type. It's called 'XS' (http://jaguar.co.uk/uk/en/vehicles/s-type/exclusives/stype_xs_le.htm)

I'm not changing a thing. Love the way it looks and drives.

Gilly · 1 Apr 2006 at 20:10

Yeah?

Fair enough.

All I need is a stool and a toothbrush :cool:

NickXX · 1 Apr 2006 at 20:16

Very nice car mate :cool:

I tried this with the wheels on my car which have fewer spokes, it is just impossible to clean them properly - uber hassle.

Going to buy a chimp and train that to do I think...

Is this the same one that Jeremy Clarkson raced around the Nurburgring in?

v_man · 1 Apr 2006 at 20:18

Yep. Same one.

NickXX · 1 Apr 2006 at 20:19

Ah nice - does it have sequential twin turbos then?

Its nice to see someone go the extra and buy the right model once in a while

v_man · 1 Apr 2006 at 20:22

Gimmie a helll yes

Joe T · 1 Apr 2006 at 20:25

That engine is awesome!

The only better engine is BM's 3.0 straight six (with two turbos

)

Good buy there mate.

SoliD · 1 Apr 2006 at 20:26

awesome looking machine, grill makes it look like one of the v8s they race, enjoy it!

v_man · 1 Apr 2006 at 20:30

Cheers guys. I'm chuffed with it, although I have to drive slowly over speed humps b'c of the deep front spoiler.
