I lived for a year in England in 2009, the 07 I bought had 5k miles on it and was mint cost me less as a two year old than my seven year old did in Sydney. I bought the R36 Wagon new when I got back to Oz in 2010 I had to get something very different it was excellent

The X350 is a big car so why does the XF look like such an ugly behemoth next to it?? The XJ looks tiny.

The 07 was more of a blue Grey whilst my 08 is an Opal Grey is the best way to describe them
Cheers

I'll tell ya.. It looks as fresh and exciting today as it did when it came out. I remember when it came out and was on display at the Boston Auto Show. I was stunned then, and now I get to see up close and just as floored. The engine bay is race looking like an F40 or Ford GT. Jag had a home run with car; on my post-lottery purchase spree.

About ten years ago I was called on to do some work for a designer at a large home about 30 minutes north of Los Angeles. It turned out to be a pediatric dentist with whom I went to junior and senior high school, who was a friend. I did catch a glimpse of an XJ220 in his garage!

Still different and stunning after all these years.
