As lovely as that Jag Growler (That definately is something else!) is I'd still go for a Morgan +8.

I won an E-Type for a weekend once, in the end the company didn't get round to picking it up for months. Having a classic sports car became a bit of a burden as i hadn't got a garage at the time and nowhere to safely park it. It was very cool posing around in it though, making out it was mine!

You can fit your trike in the back of my car any day!

I am a bit too long in the Jagwaar tooth to believe this stuff... there was the F-type concept a few years ago to keep us happy but nothing came of that.
This new cat looks gawjus tho...
...but don't they all??

Very tidy Moss.
When I built my garage I made it big enough to fit a jag in but such is life I am still running around in a crappy 406 and the wife has nicked the garage for her car.
but there is room at the end for all the bikes now.

There is definately a retro style coming back in with that Jag ...
... and the Nissan Juke.
I saw a Juke today on the way in to work and the wheel arches reminded me of a Morris Minor!
The Jag is lovely. The Nissan Juke is, er, not. Truly a hideous car for people with more money than taste.
I never understood why so many of the Jaguar cognoscenti hated the XJS when it first appeared. I like them.
My 1984 HV12E has been dozing under cover for a few years - occasional rollout for fluid changes & turn engine over- . Someday I'll have the time to give it the treatment it deserves.
It would probably be easier to get a trike in the boot than a full sized adult into the back seat..

Was the XJS by Michelotti?
I've never liked the E-type, too bulbous on the sides, too narrow in the tyres... but, slight reservations on the rear window aside, I like that Growler!
At long last. Someone who agrees with me about the E-type styling.
I liked the earlier XK120.And the less said about the Nissan Puke, the better

Many would argue that the XK drew from the lines of the E type in its styling and "tucked under" look.
I think it actually rivals the E Type for looks and in many ways is better. It looks right from all angles whereas the E type looks lovely from some angles and rather odd from others.
Spoilt the XK with the 2006 revamp.

Am I the only one to get annoyed when I see the leaping Jag logo on the boot of jags now.
The XF and I think all present models have the leaping jag accross the boot where (if any thing) there shold be the jaguar head logo. It just does not look right.
I guess it is too much for Americans to have two logos for a car company.

It's my understanding that The Leaper does not meet European pedestrian safety standards so The Growler is fitted.
In the USA The Leaper is allowed.
If you see a Leaper on a UK car it has been fitted, after market (and quite legally) by an idiot.
