Default Hello

Hi joined late last year and love all the articals in the forum.

My current Jag is a 1998 XJ8 with just 36000 miles and in very good condition.
(Was in long term storage)
Bought last year with a sagging head lining. New one easily fitted now. Also had an incorrect battery which I've now replaced. Previously to the XJ8 I had a lovely Damilar Sovereign with LPG fitted, followed by a not so good Jag xj6 and recently a XF.
The XF was nice but just looked like many other modern cars and I much prefer the shape of all the older models. I live in North Northumberland, retyred so can enjoy all the good quiet scenic roads on my door step. Life in a Jag is great grace space pace

Hello,
Congratulations on your Latest Jaguar!
I hear ya about newer Jags looking too much like everything else on the road. The only way you can tell if it's yours in the parking area is to read the plate number.

Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.

A late 'welcome' to the forums geobow,

Good to hear you have been finding interesting information here. I agree with you about the modern Jaguars. They have lost the marque identity of the earlier models.

Must get back up to beautiful Northumberland myself in the near future. I have over two hundred years of ancestors buried at Holy Island church. Just a visit - not planning on joining them in the near future.

Graham
