Owners age - for fun ;)
im 25.....got my first Jag when I was 18.....ive had about 6 Jags in total in the past 7 years.
ive been driving XJ's primarily....had an XK and XF at one point.....its interesting seeing the looks on peoples faces when they see a young guy getting out of this big lavish XJ. The funnier part is when Im driving around in gym shorts and flipflops....looking like a total bum

I ignored this thread until today, and was amazed by how many young drivers are on this forum. I'm 72 and the two Jags I have now are the first I have owned since the MK II over 40 yrs. ago.
I always had a Jag when I could. From the beautiful 3.8 MkII, up through the "S" type through the incredible "E" types. Then I left England and Jags were a thing of the past, or way too expensive(import taxes,customs etc) But now I have the x300 XJ6 and I am so happy again to have a cat again.There is just something about them that makes you love them,even with all the problems that come up,it just does not seem to matter once she is purring along again.

Worst one? No jaguar is ever "worst" or even bad

I'm 65 but bought my first new XJ6 in 1982 after having a dream that I should buy one. I drove it until 1995 at which time I bought the new model and gave my high school age son the 1982. He drove it through high school, college, and med school. But his residency was in Rochester, N.Y. so I got the 1982 back for five years. When he got out of residency he moved to Birmingham, Al. and he got the car back. I still was driving my 1995. I had also bought a 2003 XJ and didn't like it as much as my 1995 so I sold it and kept my '95. The 1995 XJ now has 220K miles on it. Also bought a 1996 XJS in 2007 but soon discovered it to be more of a young man's car. Gave that car to my son as well. He still has it but also has a 2003 XJ VP so I guess he's hooked on Jags as his old man is. Recently I bought a 1996 XJ VP as it had only 98K miles on it and had been well taken care of. I still have my 1995. They are probably my terminal cars. The new Jags do nothing for me. So bottom line is that I have been driving Jags for thirty years starting when I was 35.

38 years young here and this is my first Jag, but I have had a fairly secret lust for them since about 1998. Bought this 2001 as a Graduation present for the wife (who is 44). It was serendipity. Hmm, maybe I should use that as her nick-name.
