I have the greedy madness, but the insight to recognise it.
I have a nice, sorted, smooth 3.2 as per my avatar photo.
I recently bought a navy blue XJR manual, which is off the road but getting better all the time.

Now this has popped up - a SWB V12
Jaguar Other Daimler V12 1995 | Trade Me.

the SWBs are scarce in NZ, usually the long wheel bases come up for sale. So i am, again, tempted, and I guess I could then answer my own previous post as to which I prefer, XJR or 6 litre V12. I have a spare set of new Asteroid wheels I could put on the V12, and store the turbines.
However, buying a 3rd X300 would be an inconsiderate move, and I would have to sell the 3.2, because otherwise I will start getting labelled.
And it is hard to justify 3 old Jags as company cars to the taxman, although two genuinely are - I either use one or the other.
Anyway, a tempting proposition.

 

You are just begining.

I had 9 at one time, plus the 2 belonging to the kids.

Now, old age, arthritis, missing leg, "common sense", has me down to 2. Both S types, and very simple for me to live with now.

Get on with it mate, a V12 is soooooo special, especially those last ones.

 

It's been 3 hours since you posted.........

Its dark in NZ now, so being a Jaguar gentleman, "he does not motor about after dark", as the great Sir Joseph once said.

Still, a V12 X300 is well worth motoring about after in my opinion.

 

Very nice, like the color ... ah hem

....seems kind of expensive to me though. $11k USD for an 82k mile 1995?

Not sure what the market for X305s are down under though. Maybe that is market.

.

 

Is 3 too many?
The answer for X300's is the same as for beers! Admittedly, beers are less expensive...

 

AL,

Three's not too many! Just be prepared to explain to (many) people that they are NOT all the same. They are like your kids. Each has it's unique qualities. And you love them all.

Myself, I've got two kids, and two Jags would probably be the right number for me. But which two?? And I still don't have an XJS! "Bugga".

 

I'd say it's at the cheaper end of the market down here for a x305 v12 and in the realm of Xj40 v12’s . Only other one I know of, a 97 lwb, is on carsales at $29k.
