Actually next time you're in Jockland I'll give you a shot of the XJR

Andy, what age is it and mileage, and what did it set you back?




Mark, cheers for the pointers on the Merc/BMW things, this is the kind of info I am looking for.

It's maybe a bit more than you are considering.
XJR 4.0L - V8 - 370bhp - 0-60 = 5.1s

Mine is an S Reg 98, FJSH, 80K, Cost

Wow those Legends are cheap. I'd forgotten about them.


I'd rather walk than be seen in a Jag but the Legend is a different kettle of fish.

3.5 V6......anyone got any ideas how bad they are on fuel ?


So has everyone else forgotten - I actually got into a cab once and assumed it was a big Opel or something!

Squirt? Who cares or knows? It's a heavy V6 auto - fine on a long journey, but walk to the post box. It'll do you good.
