Nice looking Jag spotted yesterday

[tyred]

I should have added to my post that I view old Jags like stately homes - nice to look at but not to own and maintain.

Not one of Jaguars better motors.

One of their more beautiful ones though, I feel. Though this example needs nicer wheels.

My wife almost started life in an XJS, her mother was driven 30 miles to the hospital in Dundee in one with the contractions well underway! My wife still smiles when she sees an XJS.

And to think, they claim 'range anxiety' is a modern phenomenon, associated with electric cars!

Still a good looking car though - always wanted one of these or a Triumph Stag when I was a lad

I once had range anxiety when I owned a slightly shonky Ford Capri in the early 90s, it would only do about 30-50 miles before losing all its coolant and needed to be filled up before the temp gauge hit red. I was very young and couldn't afford a new radiator before you all rebuke me. 😄

An XJS in Dundee?? No chance!

The irish reg is a cheap way of getting a private plate and disguising it's age

First registered in Feb 1995.

Looks like a change of owner (or owner changed address) in 2012 resulting in a new ‘log book’.

Why bother? What's wrong with a 1995 registration plate? It's obvious that the car is 'old' Who would actually have a W I A 7072 plate thinking it looks like someone's initials, date of birth etc?!

Maybe the owner is called William Ian Anderson and he was born in July 1972.

I know a garage that could certify it as such. They do a lot of work for VW amongst others....

If you want to see what horrors may be lurking, and what it takes to effect a proper renovation, then this is worth a (very lengthy) read:

Hmm, I remember them being run by TWR in the ETCC in the mid 80s along with their Rover Vitesses.

Actually, Tom Walkinshaw won the '84 ETCC in an XJ-S.

Initial production of the XJ-S started in 1975, btw.

No, it’s not
