I used to own a 1999 Jaguar XJ8. That daimler is one of my favourite models!! Enjoy it, and it's well worth whatever taxes you did or didn't pay, I can tell you that 
I still have a 2005 XJ, 2014 XJ and now an XE. And I'd still drive that Daimler if I could !
Who cares about taxes when comes to indulges.
Three cats...WOW enjoy them ;-)

new road tax rules in flanders
All,
After a short wintersleep I put the Jag back on the road and applied for a new licence plate.
Was I surprized to see that new taxation rules apply an increase of the yearly amount with 50% going from 2000euro a year to 3100 euro.
Also I noted that although the plates where received in april the payment period started as of 1 of march.
These rules only apply in flanders part of belgium, so if you live in brussels or the wallon part of belgium you are a lot better off. Speaking about discrimination...
Regards,
Luc

You can have them on new car so I suppose it can be ordered as spare parts, ask any Jaguar dealer

After selling the XJ X308 3.2 last year with a lot of regret, I am again looking for a good 4.0 but a X300 this time from Belgium or the Netherlands. A strong preference for a Daimler (ofcourse or a Sovereign "will do just fine".
I have been looking for a 4.0, aspirated or XJR or even 6.0(no 3.2 /XJ6 base) from a private owner. Ideally a Daimler Six in acceptable condition.
It's starting to get very difficult to find a decent XJ X300 around here. Especially with the 4.0 that has not been neglected or for sale at Bentley Continental money.
If you have one or know someone, please let me know, thank you.
No dealers/specialists etc(after some bad experiences).

Thumbing through the 'social groups' on this site, I noticed that there are groups for many areas on this planet, but there wasn't one for Belgium, so I started one.

I don't know of a way to automatically invite all members who have their profile set to Belgium, but I'm hoping many will find their way over there anyway.
