Owners age - for fun ;)
I am 28. At a red light last week, I heard a girl in another car remark to her friends that I was driving "daddy's car".
My dad has a Ford Focus that is technically worth more than what I paid for the Jag.

Looking forward to getting my X300 back today or tomorrow with its front suspension rebuilt.
I have the bug .. checking out XJRs and V12 saloons now.. this could require some medicine

I was 25 when I bought my first Jag, 35 now. I also like sports cars (old and new) and american muscle, but I can only have one (or two) car(s) and Jags seem best all rounders for less money. It feels like the X300 was built for me and I even do the odd trackday in it. That said, I would like an XJS or an XK8 as well!
This 1995 VDP XJ6 of mine is my 12 th or maybe 14 th Jag. Can't remember them all. First one was a MK2 thena 150S, then 120 and a 140, a MK10, plus first XJ12 sedan with carbs ! Couple of XJS'. An XJ6 2.8 with manual shift (what a truck that was) then quite a few XJ's I, II and III and 2 XKE (A 6 and a 12 bangers - the most beautiful car ever on earth but even in full snowy winter needed the airco in !)
I fll in Love with Jags going to the UK whan I was 13 the watching le Mans (the real one) the going there a few times in the early 60's but of course at that time I was living in France :-)
And passed the virus to my son as well.
But I must admit I am also an Alfa Romeo nut
So Jag and Alfa's the best of both worlds (although I a Ferrari, maseratis and plenty more).
Let's keep the Jag name live and from disapearing !

I am 24 but I have been around Jags my entire life; from my grandfather who had three XKE's to my immediate family who are on our eighth and this is my second. My father currently has a beautiful 95 X300, my mother has a 03 X-Type, and I just picked up a 95 XJR-6. (pics are in the respective order)

No kidding there. I bought my 95 XJ6 for $500 (plus I swapped out an old '62 327 in my (for 35 yrs) neighbors '31 Vicky, I dropped a 2012 290 HP crate engine w/all the fancy stuff, for $500). He was about to take it to a Jag junkyard in Modesto. They said they would give him $1000 for it.?#*! Long story short, I can drive the Vicky anytime I'd like AND I have a '95 XJ6. Pretty darned happy...
46 - and on my second Jaguar
First one was an XJ6 Series 3, 4.2lt 1986 fitted with XJS alloys.
Just recently bought an XJ6 X300 1997, 4.0lt Sport with XJ8 alloys.
(don't seem able to buy a Jaguar with standard wheels
