All these motors just add so much weight. I'd never own a vehicle that weighs 4,650ibs unless it was a truck lol. I'd rather use my hands to adjust my mirrors and headrests etc. If that means my car weighs less.
Lovely motor cars, how we buggered up our car industry escapes me. Austin, Rover, Jag, Jensen. All had really good cars, with appalling build quality and reliability issues. Same with the bikes. Idiots in charge not moving with the times and stripping the companies to the bone. Wonderful example you have there, the AJ6 and later AJ16 unit are stunning engines. I've owned an X300 XJ6.
People are now of an age that they think Jaguars started with the xj40 whereas in fact , the age of the perfect Jaguar started with the series 3 V12 masterpiece and the interior being timeless and beautiful, making the humble vastly inferior 40 seem like a garish extension of a busy day at the office .
I have had both and would agree that to an extent the quality was better made but my last series 3 was a New old stock Japanese import with no miles on the clock in fact a brand new car and possibly everything nice and taught tight and rust free make me think its still the best car in the world and there are plenty more of them in Japan all V12's @@ShockWaveGamings234fg321f
That headrest feature kills be every time I do it it’s so loud I’ve thought about waiting till someone tall enough falls asleep in the back of my car to really utilize it full power
