What is upsetting is that the new X900 is a pretty impressive bit of kit and full of the original Jag DNA.......lots of discussions at work, none positive. :-[

This woke advert will appeal to the LGBT....QRSTUVWXYZ1000gendersnonbinarywomencanalsohaveapenis community. ::)

Trouble is most of this 'community  don't like cars, even electric cars, and therefore will not be interested in the new 'progressive' Jaguar marque.

Vegan food rules. ::)

What a mess everything is in. Everyone is either nuts, angry or both. Feels like we're heading towards a big bang.

The new logo is, errrrr, shite ;D



That logo looks like it belongs on a cheap French handbag, rather than an iconic British motoring marque.  ::)  ;D

I wonder how much jaGUar paid the ad agency for that shite and the awful irrelevant advert?  :-\

I thought exactly the same!

The ad looks like they took a bunch of college students and gave them a grand to shoot a perfume advert for Christmas and design a logo for TKMaxx's new range of Goochee hand bags  ::)

One of my neighbours has a stunning Mk 2 3.8 Jaguar which his mother bought new in 1963 he inherited it when she passed away a few years back since then he has spent several thousand pounds on it, the most recent expenditure having the auto box completely re built in my eyes it's the perfect classic.I have a picture somewhere hopefully to follow.

I would love to own that Jaguar of my neighbours, he also has a beautiful XJS convertible which apparently belonged to one of the members of the Who previously.

Is that car an original 'A' reg from 1963?

Very few of those, I imagine.

Beautiful! I'm not a fan of the white walls, but that is absolute nit picking  :y Also, getting geeky, I prefer the more delicate bumpers on the later 240/340 cars (the one that Morse actually drove I think  :-\) but then you lose the gorgeous 3.8 straight six, wire wheels and you get a less upmarket interior - decisions decisions  ;D.

That one's also got an aftermarket webasto roof - not a common mod!

Gorgeous thing! I've lusted after one to accompany my dad's e-type. Not managed to get there yet however!

Yes it is a 1963 originally bought new by his mother,last year all new leather was fitted exactly to original spec & as I said previously the auto box was rebuilt earlier this year by a specialist in Suffolk, he has an agreed valuation on it for £38,000 but is limited to 2000 miles per year , SWMBOS  old faithful Subaru can be seen in the background, it now resides in Devon with her cousin.🚗🚗🚗

The E Type & the MK2 are the only "proper" Jags in my opinion but that's probably an age thing , my father had a very early 2.4 Jaguar when I was about 11 in black with red leather , a beautiful car the first car I ever travelled in at 100 mph.

I believe that it originally started out as a 2.4 Jaguar which seemed very underpowered to his mother & a new 3.8 engine took its place around 1968/9, I never met her but she sounds like a real petrolhead also had a couple of mini coopers which are awaiting restoration.

My Dad had a MK2 Jag back in the day when he first met my Mum and he wouldn't let her drive it.  ::)

She was miffed about that to her dying day!  ;D
