Jean, in France during winter, in Canada in the summer.
I used to have some Jags, ( MK2, XJ'S ), the last one was an XJS 4 litre bought in Florida ( 80 000 km, in pristine condition, no leaks ! ), I sold her reluctantly because of the ( very ) poor condition of the roads in Quebec, denifinitely not the right place for a big cat. I am presently in France and have an urge for a Jag, a XJ, probably a X300 or 308, since I don't know much about " modern " Jaguar, I am asking for a piece of advice, which one are the most reliable? What do I have to check ....and so on ?
I suppose a 1 owner with a full history, lots of bills is a good opportunity.......

Welcome to the forum Jean,
Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.
Certainly is ...... if only you could find one! I travel north to south and back across France twice a year and any Jaguar is a rare sight.
I've had a 1996 X300 and a 2001 X308. Both great cars. The X308 is naturally more technically advanced (and also more powerful) but the X300 has a better reputation for reliability.

That's why I'm gonna go back to blighty to find this gem !
I used to live in Birmingham and Bristol, RHD is not a problem, furthermore I haven't been in the UK for ages....So !
You'll get a much better deal over here but check the Europe Region forum for import requirements if you're not familiar with importing UK vehicles to France.
X 300/308 will wait, I've found my daily, a X type 2 litre, 2 owners, in excellent condition but I keep an eye on a XJR ( X300 ) and a Xj 3.2 litre sport ( X308 ), I'll be in the UK on friday to bring her back home.
