Default Changed the car but it's Deja Vu

Early this week I finally decided to change the Jaguar and get a car with lower miles. So after a lot of trawling on the internet I finally saw a car yesterday, and another today that I decided to buy.

Yes it is Deja Vu, and I have bought another Jaguar XJ, this time an X358 Sovereign 3 litre petrol. Actually since our stupid politicians changed the car taxation system to favour diesel there are few petrol cars after 2006. However the diesel XJs can be problematical so I decided to stick with the 3 litre V6 petrol.

So, I attach a couple of photos of the car. The colour is almost the same as my old Rover 75 I had before the Jaguar. Car comes with 12 months warranty and they are taking my X350 in p/ex. The dealer is a Rolls Royce and Bentley used car dealer in West London and have been there since 1975. I have never seen so many of these cars in one place, they must have about 50 on-site some well over 20 years old, some almost new

PS: Highest price car is the E-type Jaguar !! It looks lovely as I specifically asked to see it.My friend had an almost identical one in the very late 60s and it cost him about £1500 !!

Beautiful! I am eyeing an almost identical one (but with the V8 here in the states), but they are asking just a bit too much for it right now. Love the x350/x358!

A beautiful car and no doubt about it! I don't think that interior color was made available here in the USA.

BTW, what is an MG TF 135 2010? I remember MG TF's from the mid 1950's. A replicar?

MG Rover brought out a sports car in 1995 called the MG-F, with many components based on the equivalent small saloon. Read all about it here: -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MG_F_/_MG_TF

My car is within the last few hundred built by the Chinese who bought most of the MG Rover assets after they went bust in 2004/5. I bought the TF as I was doing too many miles in my MG Midget, and I wanted to keep it in a low mileage condition.

Congratulations on the new purchase!
Lots of tasty metal on that dealership's website, like the Bentley Arnage and RR Silver Seraph. The S-Type seems a bit expensive though?

I think it includes 12 months warranty.
