Nehh, this is on the other side of the pond, in democratic China .... TAIWAN ....
It might be the same guy who operated a yellow XJ40 for years, maybe he thought it was time for an upgrade .

 

A little something I've been working on in my spare time

 

Not a good pic. Plus, the 100 is very dirty here. But the cls55 is one of our inventory cars. It makes my 100 look like it's small.

 

 

 

Great time to be out on the boat & to take waterfront jaunts in the land yacht lol.

 

Saw this car on autotrader a while back. I love it.

 

You have a link, thanks.

 

The car only lasted like 2 weeks on the market. And this was back in November-ish.

 

Here is my 2003 XJR with the R1 Package. Have had the car for a month or so and love it. Needs some work, but nothing major and it runs and drives great. I dont think you can get more car for the money. Sorry about the photo quality, I deperately need to upgrade my phone...

 

These cars look more beautiful as time passes, a true classic.

 

My X308 Daimler is also my daily driver. I would like to change that but I can't afford an I-Pace yet.

You see that I do have positive thoughts regarding all-electirc Jags. And I have no prejudices against an all-electric XJ. This may be the last chance for the XJ series of saloons. For the sales numbers of the X351 models were so poor in recent years that Jaguar Land Rover took it out of production. We can discuss about the XJ legacy. I think Jaguar should have the X351 model a brand new name. Jaguar didn't continue to use name E-Type (XKE) for their sports car. instead it became the F-Type. Likely They could have named the X351 e.g. XS (S for saloon) or JS or something alike.

 

Hello Mr Dobermann. You have one fine looking jag (same color as mine!). I just bought a set of 17 x 8's, 25mm offset, for my 2001 XJ8. The seller suggested 235/50R17 tires with a fitment guarantee . Ashley's a big girl, so I would like a little more rubber on the ground. I'm thinking of 245/50R17's The overall diameter is good, but I'm worried about the width (rubbing) . You obviously know what your doing, so your esteemed judgement would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, and All the Best, Anthony.

 

Brought this XJ8 in October for £300. 57,500 miles only. See condition and the rebirth afterwards. Well worth it. Changed interior from XJ8 to XJ8 Executive door cards, seats and wooded steering wheel! Renewed the headlining too. Had all rust cut out and replated. Complete respray. Look fantastic now. Just wish I could use it more, as have now had to self isolate with this Coronavirus sweeping the country!

 

Wonderful looking unit and nice work Doug...but with the angst to drive her, the old saying comes to mind "..how am I supposed to miss you if you won't go away"...Oh wait, that's what my girlfriend says.

 

And what does your wife say?
Sorry, could not resist ....

 

Now that had become a beautiful machine .... can only image the shear amount of work in it between those pictures.
Congrats!

 

Hi Highhorse, Thanks for your comments. Thought you might like to see a coaster I have for my XK8, Can be adjusted to read XJ8 too!!!

 

under my olive trees in Greece in one of 25th trips [or more] from london. The jag in my hands from 2002 and still countinue[don't know this year with corona virus] trouble free

 

Ok now, I've said this many times and I'm saying it again....dark colors "SPLOOSH"!! ...wonderful burgundy.
