Here are a couple of more pics of my new (old) S type-

Also- curious to hear if people think that the new, modern Jags such as the XF and XJ will have the same type of loyal following that the older, more traditional Jaguars do?

 

Wow, really beautifully presented! The detailing under the bonnet in particular is just stunning.

It's really difficult to judge how the modern Jags will be seen further down the line. I think the S Type has an advantage in its retro design. Now I know it's loved and hated in equal measure by the populace at large, but it is that bit different and in a very attractive way.

 

I get a chuckle every time I see a photo with the steering wheel on the wrong side. Do you guys experience the same when you see photos of ours on the wrong side?

 

PO probably did that to disguise the fact he was stealing the shock-tower-covers for use on his replacement, newer S-Type, knowing that Jaguar had "Cost-reduced" this elegant, though useless item from 2005 on.....C'mon Steven! that's a 2003, it should have shock-tower covers! But otherwise, it's beautiful. Great find!

 

Haha Zane, I noticed that as well but did not want to say anything!

 

Wrong side? Are you crazy? This is the correct side for the steering wheel on a British car (Damn, can't find a Union Jack icon to wave)

 

Aholbros1 and Joycesjag-

I had to google the "shock tower cover" you were referring to as I had no idea what you were talking about.
Now I know.
Thanks all.

 

Shock tower covers only fitted to CATS cars?
I took mine from my 2002 s and put them on my 2005

 

Wow, super clean car in an awesome color - congrats!

 

Very nice! Clean under the hood ( not bonnet, lol ) love the green also. Wish mine was but could not find at the time I was looking

 

Here's a photo and me trying to foment jealousy amongst Rick and Jon89
