Hi, I am David from the Netherlands.
I am a car nut since I was a little kid. Not specifically Jaguar but since Jaguars are nice and characterfull cars, I have owned a lot of them through the years.
From all XK and E-type models, to more recent models. Daily I drove an XF 2.0d until recently but that car broke my faith in modern Jaguar quality. I drive a lot of kilometers, and this was my first car that needed a new engine every 100.000 km. I sold it when the 3rd engine broke at around 330.000km, after regular maintenance, upgraded timing chains and tensioners etc.
Currently I still have a 1975 XJS (awaiting restoration), a 1989 XJS convertible and a 2011 XJ 3.0d.
Other than that I also have some other cars.

Welcome to the Forums.

Sadly, nothing is built the way it once was.

Good luck.

Hello, David,
"Characterful cars." That's a new expression for me but I'll certainly remember it.
Welcome to the forums form ElinorB.
