Default Hello from mandatory-posting land!

OK, I confess that I do not own a Jaguar; the XK is way too expensive for me, and anything else is way too large.

However - my wife has had the hots for a Jag pretty much forever, so I decided that if I want to keep her from running off with a Jaguar owner, I had better knuckle under and grant her wish (she only had to wait for 43 years!).

So, she is the very proud owner of a 07 S Type, with 44,5K on it. It's beautiful, tons of fun to drive (although the driver's seat tends to be rather uncomfortable for me on longer trips), and garners praise everywhere we go. She still pinches herself to make sure she isn't dreaming, and she's had it since her birthday last June.

Also now I can thank everyone whose posts here have helped me so far.

Ok, that's it for me, so now I can get back to my rides: a 2001 MR2 Spyder (42K) and a showroom-looking 88 Fiero Formula (62K) - and both in my favorite color: Yellow! (Not to mention a 1950 Panhead -not in yellow, yet)

BTW, does anyone know the official designation for the deep metalflake blue on my wife's car?

Cheers,
Joe

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

You'll find a manufacturer's label on the door pillar showing both the paint and trim codes. Post the code for the exact description of the colour.
