Hi All, I live in central Florida, USA. I recently purchased a 2003 V8 S-Type and I must admit I am in Love with this car. It is smooth shifting and riding, quiet, fast and a joy to drive. I grew up in a time when all Jaguars were British Racing Green although today they come in many colors, of course mine is Emerald Fire Green. When I purchased it almost four months ago I had been searching the internet for many months before I found this one, It only had 48K miles on it and the price was right. It was in a Jaguar dealer in NY so I put a deposit on it over the phone and flew to NY to drive it home. It was the most enjoyable road trip I have ever had. I have added 4K miles to the odometer and I don't understand all the negative things I hear about Jaguars, of course it is from people who don't own one. I have owned six Cadillacs ( all models), Three Lincolns, a BMW, a Mercedes, and an Audi The Audi 5000s was one of the worst cars I have owned. I will try to post some pics which shows some of the chrome I have added to my Jag.
PS sorry it seems I am not allowed to post pics yet.

 

Welcome to the forum,

Good to hear from a happy owner.

 

Welcome to the forum and to the Jaguar S Type Club! I couldn't agree more about the ride, comfort and loving the looks! SSHHHhhhh don't let the ney sayers know.

You have a small probation period until you have full access to the site. AND please do post up the chrome additions, and don't bother with the non-chromers here !!

Enjoy all the site has to offer!

 

Jim, welcome to the site. There's plenty of good information on S-Types here. I look forward to pics when you're able. I've been looking at S-Types myself, glad you found one that fits.

Welcome to the forum Jim.

Look forward to the pics, when you can. Especially if you have added chrome, seems that most folks remove it.
