I'm a long time collector and Jaguar aficionado. Many of the collector cars I have an eclectic mix of collector cars, but lean to low mileage luxury cars . My first Jag was a 99 XJ8L purchased in 2004 as a daily driver. I just sold it a few months ago with 110K miles on it because it was starting to show some age. We thoroughly enjoyed the car and found it to be very dependable. I wanted a convertible a few years back, so I purchased a 2006 XK8 which has also proven to be a wonderful car. Last year I ran across a 22000 mile 95 XJS in Signal Red, it is like new and although I'd like the 12-cylinder, it has the very manageable and well respected 6-cylinder. Shortly thereafter, in my search for a replacement to the 99, I found a 95 VDP with 39000 miles and in as new condition. While I definitely like the uniqueness of the short wheel base X300 VDP only offered in '95, I also like the long wheelbase cars and have added a 97 VDP to the collection, it's another 40000 mile car and also in like new condition. At this point, I'm pretty well convinced I have enough Jaguars, although if the right 94 or 96 XJ12 shows up I may have to find more space.

Welcome to the forums Twistedcarguy,

I like my Jaguars too but prefer them one at a time.

Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xk8-xkr-x100-17/ to the XK8/XKR forum, this one https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xjs-x27-32/ to the XJS forum and this one https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xj-xj6-xjr6-x300-26/ to the X300 forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top of each is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

Please add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the US Southern Midwest Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/u...rn-midwest-67/ to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Hello,
You have posted TWO cars here that make my heart skip a beat:
The BLACK Xk8 (which I have decided will be my Next Jaguar) and your RED (my second favorite color)Xjs which is Exactly the right and Only model I would consider owning, but in BLACK.

I'm sure the white one is a very nice car but it's only white. Meh.........

Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.

John,

YES, you have. Signature changes appear with your NEXT post - not immediately. This confuses a lot of members.
