Hi Stuart, thats a very clean and tidy example !
I'm not far from you just down the M1 a bit. I used to work at Magna Park.
The rear PDC on yours is very useful, I'm still gauging the length of the rear of mine when reversing because I havent got PDC.
I've got the 2.5 V6 SE on a 2002 plate.
I am absolutely delighted with mine, I hope you are with yours.

That really does look like a good example. I've had mine since end of 2000 and is still in great shape. Part of the family now

Story of our lives this "summer" with dire weather ! We've cancelled attending so many bike events and meets already.

I've been tooling around with my bike most of the day today.
Almost finished fitting V&H, 4 into 1, pro street pipes and shortie megaphone tail end. My lovely little lady also did the white lettering for me on the handlebar switchgear casings, so I gave them 4 coats of clear laquer today.
A bit of a solvent abuse day in the bike garage.

The fuel isnt so bad on the 2.5. Its a lot better than my 2 litre zetec Mundane-o. Average of 5 mpg better ! 29.4 compared to the Ford doing 24.3 mpg. Is yours the 3L sport?
Your car looks very nice though, I bet your chuffed with it?

Yeah it would be good to meet up, I see there arent any Midlands meets on here. Shame because all the Jag works are in the midlands.
