My new V12 Jaaag! The car is half his age! How did the CAR WIZARD make out on this '95 XJ12? 

V12 in British racing green makes it an absolutely perfect specimen

Love all the chrome trim around the windows. Really gives the car an old-school classic look.

Absolute English stunner ,pace ,grace and space ,nothing makes you feel more special than a V12 Jag Cheers from the UK

Gorgeous Jaguar. Absolutely love it and it has found the right owners to preserve it.

I would have certainly done the woodwork on the Jaguar Wizard worked in the saw mill at Browns lane Coventy at that time, the wood is mirrored from the middle out os its a set, If we scraped one part by going through the walnut venner we would have to do the walk of shame and pull the whole set out, look for the numbers on the back of the woodwork if you ever take it out

Holy Moly Wizard - that is GORGEOUS! That was the last of the proper Jags, and in the British Racing Green at that too, wow. So love the look of it, and it's in incredible shape. I don't know how Bob finds these things.

Hi from Sydney, Australia. These are truly beautiful cars and with the 6litre v12 even better. I own two lovely 1970's Cadillac Fleetwoods a '72 Brougham and '74 Talisman. I love them and have owned both for over 30 years. But I really like 1960's and following Big Jags. When I was 6yrs old in November 1961 my mum bought a new Jag mk10, black paint and ivory leather interior. She kept it 10 years & when they stopped making the really big mk10's she bought a run out one brand new in 1971 by then with the BMC-Leyland share buyout the BMC guys re-named all the Jags with mk10's being renamed 420G's for the 1967 models in late 1966. My first car was a family hand me down 1958 aussie GM Holden. At 19yrs old I bought a 1965 4.2 litre mk10, owned it many years replaced it with a really really rare long wheelbase '74 series 1 xj6 I owned that 32years and sold it to a mate, as I had the opportunity in late 2012 of buying a one owner with full mechanical history 1967 mk10/420G with a mere 50,125 miles on it. Owned from new by a doctor he had the car serviced MONTHLY, not by mileage. In my 10 years ownership, I have added almost 40,000 extra miles, it has been flawless, like a giant Meccano or Ezybilt set for adults, it's easy to service yourself, everything unscrews/bolts nicely too. Best of all though these (mk10's) are tough, solid, well-built cars. The 3 Jags that I have owned have all been the ultimate version 4.2's with the high output bronze heads, not aluminium so give ZERO head gasket issues and as an export spec car it came with toughened valves from the factory new so it "drinks" unleaded petrol without issues. like the v12's the 4.2 inline 6 Jag engines have their own "weird" pre-engaged starter motor so when you push the start button it emits this violent high pitched PRING sound and the engine erupts into life with just one press of the button, always, hot or cold, raining or hot & dry. Impressive, equally impressive is the massive overkill construction of the front engine & suspension cradle/mount cast in heavy iron like a railway track girder, same with the front & rear suspension pieces. And so it lasts there are dozens of grease nipples on the car, forget sealed for life junk, this is real engineering, just get grease gun & pump it full like on a train these are components designed & engineered to last. I have a mate with a 2001-02 Mercedes CL500 coupe, lighter than my big heavy jag , just 20yrs old not 55yr old like the Jag, however near all of its alloy suspension arms needed to be thrown away as they were either bent, worn (hinge points) or worse cracked, on a car whose first owner was an old lady and I suspect by its really low mileage was barely driven, and would never have seen an unsealed dirt road. When we looked at it on the hoist of a mechanic mate of ours, I was shocked at how cheap and flimsy the Merc undercarriage componentry was compared to my 1960's Jaguar's componentry which has the durability of a bulldozer. Just weeks later on holidays he & his wife were away in the Merc & its belt tensioning pully bearing froze up causing major damage as this "sealed for life" bearing seized. By comparison the Jaguars one has a grease nipple on it & should you wish, you can unbolt it and take the bearing to pieces and hand fill it with grease just to be really sure. Same with the front wheel hub bearings , they have a grease nipple on the front hub, flip off the hub cap, get your grease gun & pump the front wheel hub bearing s full of grease, you do not have to pull the whole front hub assembly to bits & repack with grease like most cars, so that many cars sent to workshops this job is left not done, but on the big Jag is easy as there is an obvious grease nipple there just to pump it full, how clever, on my two Caddy's you have to tear the whole front wheel assembly to pieces taking ages. These Jags are an engineer's car in their design & execution, not just a road commodity for just a few years use.

Those aluminum intake manifolds are absolutely beautiful. Something lost in modern cars with all the plastic fantastic covers on the engine bays is engines you can just open the hood and stare at for hours and admire like artwork.

Welcome to X305 ownership! Needs throttle spindle bushes. Oiled sintered bronze flange bushing EF050806 takes a little trimming but will fit. Needs radiator mounts. Very common. Scotchcal 70205 1/8" silver stripe tape is the easiest way to restore engine cover stripes.

Fantastic car, and that V12 is a great engine. You mentioned that the later V8 XJR had the 4L80 as well, however it actually has a Mercedes Benz 5 speed auto. I know this as I currently own a 2001 XJR and the box has Merc logos all over it. Great video and congratulations on that beautiful car

My grandmother had that exact same year and engine but in silver. Met an unfortunate end when a beam in a parking garage fell down on it crushing the car. One of the few times i actually cried as she was going to give me the car when she wasn't able to drive anymore. She replaced it with a Corrolla S because her mechanic always said buy a toyota and she listened. It was fun and my mother has it now, but it wasnt a jag that for sure.

When I worked as s contractor for Lucas in Birmingham UK back in the 90s I remember seeing rows of those instrument clusters under test in climatic test chambers. I also saw a pre-production XJ40 V12 in their workshop circa 1992.

Wow, that engine is beautiful!!! That car is as close to pristine as one could hope for from a '95 car that's been driven. And just listen to that big cat purr. No wonder they were so loved. I'm in love 💕

I love it when Euro Asian Bob and Hoovey brings cars to you. I hope they do a video on it and you do a video on it

Great video Wizard, you belong in a Jag! The X300 chassis Jaguars are one of the finest cars Jag ever made. Bullet proof straight six engines, the gorgeous V12 and the amazing supercharged XJR6 (the first supercharged Jag, and also available with a manual transmisson). The X300 brought a return to the classic looks of the 1960-70s series Jaguars and the best bit of all was that this was the first Jag developed under the reign of Ford. What that mean in practice is that the XJ40 got developed into the car it ought to have been and Ford also instilled some proper build quality standards. The X300 sits perfectly in that era of car that is modern but still simple enough for a home mechanic to get to grips with it. They are actually rugged cars if you keep up with the maintenance. My first X300 had nearly 300,000 miles on the clock and was still going strong when I sold it! Enjoy!!

Personally I think the X300 was the nicest looking of the Classic Jaaaaaaags. I've had 4, but never the V12. Very nice indeed. Happy Christmas 🎄🎄

What a beautiful machine! I have always loved jaguars, and particularly the XJs of this era. And yes, I was already aware of just how rare the V12 variants are. Many congrats on acquiring this wonderful machie, Car Wizard!

I can tell your a man of taste, a beautiful example of XJ12, when you drive a Jaguar Xj12 it gives you a feeling of well being... well Done

Definitely one of the most beautiful sedans ever made, especially in BRG! I would never own one because I'm neither rich nor a career mechanic, but it just exudes so much class! Congrats, Wizard!

As a Brit 🇬🇧 and former Jaguar development engineer, I salute you.

Beautiful Jag. Only thing I would do. if possible would be to have the wheels rebalanced to have the wheel weights put in the inside.. would make for a cleaner look and they stick out on the wheels when you see them.

You got the later version of the Equalizer's car from the 80s TV series of the same name.Late actor Edward Woodward was awesome.

Happy for you to have joined the club! My family had a 96 with the LWB when I was kid, purchased second hand, and unfortunately I doubt it’s among the 50 still running. But I now have the 96 Vanden plas, also mint, low miles, and it gets the care it deserves.

Beautiful car, and a rare find with perfect color combination - congratulations to both of you. The burl walnut has dealt with some UV light, but there are several good options if you want to extract the panels and ship them for restoration.

EUROASIAN Bob has a special gift of quality classic car radar. He just finds gem after gem after gem.

What a gorgeous car! Congrats - I love how much you and Mrs Wizard love Jags - I have a 2004 XJ8 that is my absolute dream girl. MINT.

You have impeccable taste in taking ownership of one of the last V12 Jaguars. I have loved Jaguars since the mid 60’s when my father bought a Mark 2 and it was to be our family car until the mid 70’s. I have owned four Jaguars myself including a 3.8 Mk 2. In Edinburgh in the 1960’s Jaguars we’re everywhere owned by the professional classes of the Scottish capital city.

Straight 6s and V12s are the smoooooooothest engines ever. Drove a BMW 12 for a while and it was great and I sold it for more than I bought it.

I'm glad it went to you David, I know you'll respect the heritage and quality of the car and look after it with love and care. It's a real beauty, and I hope it brings you many miles of pleasure. Jaguar made a lot of very nice cars, and this XJ12 is a perfect example of how well these cars still sit now in modern traffic. All the best!

Ah, Wizard, your payment check was the knife and this video was the twist between my ribs. I stalked this car on Bob’s website for several weeks but couldn’t put the finances together. So glad you and Jennifer will get to enjoy it though. Last I checked my Volvo/Jaguar specialist had a rebuilt V-12 that was available. Perhaps it will get swapped out with the B230F in my 1991 Volvo 240 wagon.

I worked on one of these Back in the early 1990s, this XJ-12 was white, like this one it also had the Turbohydramatic 400, a Delco starter and two piece plugged up catalytic converters on dual exhaust. I replaced the bad starter, removed the four plugged up cat converters and serviced the auto transmission. The customer was amazed by the power and performance; he had never been truly happy with it, he was now! About ten days after he picked it up we got a visit from the AZ Highway Patrol asking if we had worked on it and, if we had "souped it up?" Nope, didn't need to be souped up, it's an XJ-12. The customer had gone out SR 180 toward the Grand Canyon and wrapped it around a tree, it was fatal, he was going about 112 MPH when he sailed completely off the highway, at night, and for years we saw the tree where he had wrecked it about twenty feet in the air. Drive responsibly folks.

_And one-owner to boot. That's rare for sure Wizard, and what a find._

Congratulations on your new Jaguar. Very very impressive. Thanks for the video. And… Merry Christmas!

Congratulations of your lovely new car Mr. Wizard. The 6 litre models are a lot tidier under the bonnet than the early 5.3 versions, less of a plumber's nightmare to look at, and I happened to see a video of the same engine in one of the final XJS cars, which impressed me with its very long legged gearing, on recollection being about 33 MPH per 1000 RPM in top gear. Best regards from Wales, for the remainder of this year and the forthcoming one.

That just screams class and luxury, very nice Christmas present

Beautiful car! It really took me back to my first Jaguar- a 96 XJ6 Vanden Plas with the same interior color as yours. These certainly do have an amazing ride without sacrificing handling (at least in my opinion). I briefly had an XJR (99 model) as well, and while the stiffer suspension may assist with handling, I never had any complaints with the handling performance of the Vanden Plas (though with only around 245 hp with the 4.0 I6, perhaps I didn't push it as hard into the corners as my XJR and XKR). I, too, love the style of the X300/X305/X308 Jags more than the more recent models. I'd like to pick up another X308 XJR someday- or of course if I ever came across a unicorn like your X305. Enjoy the car- it certainly is a beauty!

Hello Wizard. Your XJ is pure class. It has now found its rightful home with you and Mrs W. The V12 is a monument to British engineering. Such an engine from Jaguar is a very hard act to follow. I wish you both much enjoyment!! Bw Mike

one of the most beautiful cars ever made, imo. you rocked that one wizard. gorgeous car.

That is one stunning automobile that deserves a true enthusiast owner like the Wiz and his Missus. Congrats! Loved seeing that old BellSouth Mobility directory, also. It stirred up some great old memories. And a quick shoutout to Euroasian Bob-if my house sells in the next couple weeks as hoped, I'll certainly be giving you a call!

Beautiful car. Congrats! I owned a V12 XJS and the engine was smooth as silk and had incredible torque. It was a great car. The only negative is the heat in the engine compartment baked all the rubber hoses. There were hoses connecting the injectors to the fuel rail in the XJS, one of which failed, causing an engine fire which totaled my car. My XJS was older so they may have changed the design in yours. Something you may want to check though.

I think the wizard and I were brothers separated. His taste in cars is amazing. The 95 XJ12 is a one year short wheel base. 96 XJ12 was LWB and the last year. Great find wizard!

🇺🇸 *Wondered when we would see this Jaguar* !! *Saw it on EuroAsian Bob's channel a few days ago* !! *Very RARE, very mint Jag* !! *Beautiful XJ12* !! *Car Wizard, you have GREAT taste in cars* !! #CarWizard 🇺🇸

Jaguar had a really good reputation in the UK for reliability with the X350 family in particular. This Jag is beautiful- my uncle had a 1995 XJ Sport 3.2 and I drove it a few times - utterly beautiful, creamy and quick. This is luxury motoring - not a stupid new BMW 4-wheeled laptop. Great video Wizard

I have been to Coventry UK and actually (as a guest) watched the craftsmen match the veneers for each individual car. So the ash tray cover has been replaced. Fabulous car - Looks marvellous - Enjoy.

Back in the day I saw one of your Jag's Canadian cousins parked in Vancouver. Navy blue, dripping wood and leather, oozing class. The license plate: CATNIP.

Hi, wonderful short-wheelbase car you have there, offered only in 1995. If it hasn't been covered already, all the V8 XJRs had the Mercedes 5-speed auto box. It's the 6 cylinder XJRs which had the 4L80E.

What a coincidence I was only yesterday watching Harry's garage after his complete restoration of his 1978 Jaguar XJC V12 manual, what a beast, and after 15 years the motor looked similar. Being a manual the throaty roar at 6000rpm was a pleasure although I think Mrs Wizard would keep the windows shut.

Excellent pick car Wizard! My eye has always been attracted to the 96-97 Vanden Plas to me is the ultimate in a modern old school classic luxury car. I’m a 80s/90s BMW & Mercedes person but I would definitely snap up this style of Jag. I think this was a better progression after the series III XJ. It’s modern but has that old school class which disappeared entirely in the 1990s from all other luxury vehicles. No other Jag does it for me. People will disagree with me but the wheels make the car classy. Congrats on getting a new to you rare XJ12.

Always feel like you get the real Bob, wizard and hoovie in their videos.

As always a great video thank you Mr and Mrs Wizard! Beautiful car!! I am fortunate enough to own a 1997 Sovereign x300 Inline 6 I've had for 16 years or so, the interior is still holding up beautifully and it brings me immense joy. So glad a beautiful car like yours has found new owners who will enjoy it and care for it. Wishing you many thousands of great driving miles and memories with it.

Great buy Car Wizard! I love the 95-97 new body with the classic engines. There's a 95 XJ6 with about 75k original miles near me that no one wants to buy, so tempting.

A great buy, with no signs of rot. I had one that basically truned to dust. Granted, I live in England where a submarine with wheels would sometimes be the better option. Thanks for sharing and enjoy.

Good for you that’s a gem. There has been a 94 xjs for a few weeks waiting on parts, it’s been growing on me every time I move it around, the leather the wood, the sound, it’s classy

Beautiful car.The best colour for a Jag,and they all should have the leaping cat on the bonnet.😊

Love the Wizard, love Mrs.Wizard, love their 'new' V-12, love my 2005 XJ-8 ! The "different controls" behind the steering wheel, resemble the controls on the the Aston Martin Lagonda...circa 1974-1990. More love!!

Loving all the Jaguar content. This is a great find.

I’m with you wizard, I had loads of 3 and 5 series company lease cars in my 20s and 30s and I am sure that’s what is keeping my chiropractor in business. Soft suspension all the way now

Nice ride wizard! The 1995 6cyl are actually VERY reliable. Frequently find them on CL with 250k+ miles. Also available - very rarely - with the 5 speed manual transmission!

Utterly gorgeous... I am very jealous!! Comes from the best years of Jaguar with Ford showing them how to build cars properly! My X300 gave 10 years of wonderful motoring only asking for oil, new tyres and one exhaust box in that time... Your one has found it's 'forever home' I can tell! enjoy!

These Jags are like beautiful mistresses. Nice to look at but the maintenance won't come cheap. 😁 But a great choice, I love these cars. Congrats!

I love the XJS V12! This V12 Jag you got looks great too! Awesome purchase!

Great, great cars, proper Jag V12 values backed by Ford money. Nothing much to be scared of with these as long as you have a specialist (which you are) to look after them, and the build quality is exemplary. In the UK this would have been badged as a Daimler Double Six doncha know.

So, the 95 is a short wheelbase. I had a 96. 96 and 97 XJ12's were long wheelbase only. I was in love with mine and miss it sooooo much. I hope you and Mrs. Wizard enjoy it at least half as much as I enjoyed mine. It was my daily and never once left me stranded.

I own one in Sapphire Blue, and I cannot part with it even though I own an XJ8 and an XKR coupe. Nothing feels like a 12. There's a guy in NY that converts Denso starters that weigh less and have more torque. I made the change and love it. The original starters give no warning before failure. I experienced this on my XJS 6.0 and the XJ12. The upper starter bolt is a 12 point so remember that when you need to change or replace. These are amazingly robust cars. Also, use only jiggle pin thermostats, they must bleed air in the cooling system.

Nice buy, guys. Welcome back to the Jaaaaaag family. I bought a XJ8 VDP a year ago and spent way too much bringing it back to snuff. Haven't regretted one penny of it! 😁

Yep. You would need a primary car and a mechanic in house.

That is my favorite color combination on those, absolutely gorgeous. The V12 in those is as silky as any Rolls Royce. I wasn't sure before, but now I am. I hate you. That is quite a rare and wonderful car, very well bought!

Beautiful car. Since you love Jags so much, why not learn how to pronounce the brand properly? It is not a Jag WWWAR, it is a Jag U AR, at least that is how the manufacturer pronounces it. Cheers from Canada. Great show, lovely car.

I have a 1996 Daimler double six which is essentially the same car (long wheel base) and a more bespoke interior etc. It's a thing of beauty! Mine is spruce green with a dual tone parchment/tan interior. Looks very similar to BRG but a metallic finish. The great thing about these cars is they don't have marelli ignition systems and have a Nippon denso (spelling?) System that is great as it doesn't burn the car down! I bought mine about 2 years ago and it's in perfect condition with 50k miles. Unfortunately, you can't give them away! A real shame as they should be true classics.

01 XJR uses a MB 5 Speed Automatic

Glad to see you found one of your favorites Wizard! Your enthusiasum really comes through with this find.

I too am a Jaguar lover-and glad the wizard is as well. I always say its like marrying a stripper-you know odds are it wont work out well- but you cant see past the curves.

Beautiful machine you have. I used to own a 93 XJ-6 in the blue diamond color. The engine was solid and the ride was smooth as silk. Be aware that Ford may not have fixed the electrical issues on your model. Lucas Industries was simply incapable of engineering quality electrical connectors at the time. Keep an eye on the fuel pump connector at the pump itself. The fuel pump worked great, but the needle-thin connectors burn out. I ended up replacing the connector with a more heavy duty connector, and it did the trick. One thing for sure though, Jaguar makes some of the most beautiful and stylish cars in the world. My present Jag is an 05 XK-8, which is a dream to drive.

Proper car! Needs a nice stainless steel exhaust to finish it off

Very very nice one and they are indeed rare and this one is a gem. I own a series 3 ( last of the true William Lyons designed and built Jags ) and I have to say that I do much prefer the series 1, 2 and 3 inline 6 and V12's to these later X305 framed cars though undoubtedly the motor is better on the 6 litre and probably better reliability than the 5.3 v12. True, they ride just like a caddy but will just blow a caddy into the weeds on the twisties- a fantastic combination of ride and handling. Engine is fantastically tough and unkillable if not cooked but I see so many V12's now with small block V8 conversions because people are frightened of V12's which is tragic; it's actually vandalism. The V12 Jag was the fastest sedan in the world when it came out and for many years- 150 mph even today is pretty impressive let alone in the late 1960's. But very well done!

It's jagUar NOT jagWar

Oh wow! What a wizard xmas! A pinancle of the automotive arts, mechanically and aesthetically. I couldn't have wished anything more "proper" for you both than fate has already delivered.

Absolutely beautiful.. I'm impressed that you know a good car when you see one.. my son and I are creating a full restomod on his 86 XJS V-12.. shaved body, lowered, custom headers, custom Mobeck MFI system, everything is either polished or chromed in the ER,,, all updated wiring, custom interior, sand blasted and powdered all suspension,, an original TWR body kit,, completely murdered out with jet black satin.. these V-12s where indestructible if maintained. A little massage on the engine could easily breathe 500hp. Don't let anyone tell you different. I've been a licensed technician for over 47 years and have worked on everything.. keep up the great service work..

The V12 is a beauty , very under the radar car and super luxurious with great reliability.

Congratulations! She’s a beauty. What a find. Nice to see you got your Jaguar back after hearing you once had one and regretted having to get rid of it.

I had a black 95 xj12, it was an awesome car, the interior is almost Rolls level. The xj12 wood is Dick mine had a cream with chocolate piping and a wool head liner. The engine has huge water jackets so emission testing can be sketchy and the tranny is a GM 4L80 out of a C2500 pickup and the ac is a Harrison GM system and this was the first Ford “design/de-bugged” Jag. Loved that car great hiway car

Thats literally almost the perfect near modern Jag! I love Jaguars, I understand why you do. My uncle as I was growing up had twin fuel tank jags in the 80s with the dual chrome caps and they all rode like a dream. Love them still. I recently was surprised by the last model XJ Jag made, its not the same as the classics but still a fine drivers car.

Hi Wizard. MY name is Brian & I am from London. I was 16/17 when the Beatles became famous. As you can guess I grew up looking at all the Jags. I can remember when the E type came out WOWWWW, what a storm that car caused. OK back to your Jag V-12. Do you know that when the XJ6 came out after a short time the French awarded it a top safety award. Now you must remember the French hate the British.... So this was really something special.

This is an early XJ12 because it does not have a glovebox. Mid year in 1995, the glove box was added! Amazing the clock is working (with a few digits missing). At least 95% clocks do not work. There is a company that does rebuild the clocks. Another oddity is the cup holder in the armrest is working! Love the 95-97 XJ6!

Finding one of these cars with the splash shield intact is almost impossible. Great car. These videos are great. Keep up the good work.

What a GORGEOUS find…keep that one..! I love it…and in the perfect spec. Jags deserve love.

Just magic! What a buy. This is a serious collectors car that will only appreciate.

The Wizard has 'Grace, Pace and Space' and oodles of CLASS! !

Love your work Wizard! I am a Jag man here in Australia ,having had XJ6's, XJS (5speed man.) three XJC's two of which were V12's, two XJR's and three XKR's. I completed a full resto on an 83 XJ6 during COVID times and, I wish that I could still have all of my Jag's especially the XJC's. I have a 5.0 XKR that is my fun car and I am now restoring my late fathers' 83 Spur Rolls. It had a fair bit of rust and had been painted over and over so I have taken it back to bare metals and starting with epoxy. The interior is magnificent as it has been restored inside and the engine has good compression and is tidy. The brake system needs a full rebuild and since that was my first read job, rebuilding brakes on old school cars back in the day, I am actually looking forward to that. Now, I gotta go look for another V12 Jag......

I have a 1973 XJ12L that I bought in 1989. Its amazing how much of the stuff in the engine bay and even under the car looks identical to my car. My car has the Borg Warner gearbox but I believe some of them had GM boxes.

My husband replaced the isolators on the top rear shocks on our 1995 X300 4.0 Sport. It took him a day to do the first side & after learning a few tricks only took half a day to do the other side. He replaced the shocks as he didn't want to have to go through all the work if the shocks gave out in the next couple of years.

glorious! that is the most exquisite Jaguar I've seen on here since Harry's garage ran that bit on the XJ12C with the 5-speed manual. kudos to you & Mrs. Wizard for snapping up that timeless classic. I bet it drives like it runs on butter.

Wow! That car must have originally been sold in the Lexington, KY area. AS a long-time KY resident I was going to the University of Kentucky at the time and I remember having a copy of that old phone directory.

Wizard, this car is a time machine ! Where has it been lurking all those years ? The lack of corrosion on the underside of your new Jaguar is quite astonishing, even for a low mileage car like this. Don't they throw salt on the roads in Kansas in winter ? It is a wonder that Ford, the owners of Jaguar at the time, allowed Jaguar to develop the V12 into a 6 litre and keep it in production for so long, because sales were never huge. Owning and running a V12 is something I would love to do here in the UK, but our petrol prices are so high in the UK and Europe that I could never use it the way I would want to, which would be long tours into Europe as well as long trips in Wales and Scotland. You mention the ride; this was probably the last XJ with the "Magic Carpet" ride of previous models. I had a 1980 XJ6 and much later, two of the aluminium XJ saloons made 2003-2009. The ride on the later cars was OK, but the ride was noticeably harsher than the old XJ. At the moment I have an XE. Maybe its time to go back to an XJ !

Awesome Jag! I just found a 2005 X-type 3.0 V6 with only 26,000kms (16,155 miles) on it. Got it on the cheap due to the stigma of Jags around here and because the X-type is not well known Never driven in winter and garage kept. It's nice to find hidden gems. I'd love to take a V12 Jag for a spin one day though.

Nice find. The styling on XJ’s from the 80 and 90’s era is very elegant.

Wiz I really love the plush carpets and luxury English comforts. Just the right car to take to a horse polo match and sit with your egg&cress sandwiches watching the game! Bless you both and have a wonderful year 🙏🇬🇧

That is a beautyful one David, congrats its so elegant.

What a perfect Christmas gift to yourselves, enjoy every mile!

Those XJs ride like a dream. Smooth like butter, but never vague. Great cars.
