I've always wanted a V-12 Jag, but that will likely never happen, but I will be doing some work on a 2002 X-type for a young lady that grew up next to my wife and me. Her budget is tight and the car was cheap (yeah, I know there more expensive than a cheap luxury car) and seems to run well with only a few minor (or seemingly minor issues).

I'm a long-time muscle car owner with several major builds under my belt over the last 40 years. I currently own two old Mopars (1967 Barracuda and 1968 Dart GTS, both convertibles) and two "modern" vehicles (2000 Durango and 2004 BMW 330Ci convertible).

Welcome aboard Jim, I too am not a Jag owner but spend most of my spare time keeping a good mates 73 XJ6 up and running. Hate to admit it but i'm starting to get the Jag bug. Don't tell my wife. lol

 

I knew you couldn't resist for ever.

 

I've had the bug for a long time, but V12 XKE roadsters don't just drop out of trees.

I was wandering around one of the local Fresno self-serve wrecking yards a couple of weeks ago and found an XJS V12 that still had its entire drive train. I asked my wife if she thought I was nuts for wanting to go back for the engine. She said I was. Then I asked her if she was surprised that I wanted it. Her answer was that she was NOT surprised...

 

To my way of thinking, that pretty much equals permission...

Yeah, my wife gets it. The GTS convertible is HERS. It was our first major purchase after we got married and was her daily driver when she was 21 (our sons are now in their 30s...).
