Thanks Julie that’s helpful. Think I will stick to UK cars and do my best to get a good one. Now it’s between the 4.2 V8, XJR or Super 8 so narrowing it down.

Hi, is this sold?

Hi all, I’m about to buy my first Jag an XJ X350 variant and having come across many Japanese imports which seem good value but are they or better to go for a good UK car? Reading the forums posts I see I’d have to change the Speedo to MPH, which I’d have to get done (I’m no mechanic.) so avoid and go UK car? Thanks

Tying to track down a 1989 Jag. XJ40 variant. I wonder if anyone here knows the location of this January 1989 Jag XJ 3.6L had 4 front head lamps (rather than 2 big lamps) so I think it was a sport. It was dark blue. DVLA show V5 last issues in 2004 so I’m hoping it’s still alive but sleeping in storage. In the late 80s and early 90s it used to be in the (Greater) Manchester area. Thanks

Thanks Julie. I think I’m set on the XJ8 4.2 or maybe a XJR or the Super8 now, but so long as it has full service history, is a car with mileage around 115,000 miles one to steer away from?

Thanks Julie, I really wish the child seats would go in the X300 variants easily but I think I'll go X350 because of the ISOFIX (less faff) and I'm kinda focusing on Xj8, XJR or Super 8 if I can find a good one in budget. The quad lights is just so classic.

Hello all, I'm currently looking into my first Jag. It's going to be our family runabout (I say that loosely) but as I can't do boring cars I would like to get a Jag. I'm mostly a fan of the old Xj series (blame my neighbour for having them in the 80s and 90s when I was growing up) and I think the period 2003-2009 X350 is probably best for our needs as I would like to fix an ISOFIX baby-seat in the back, so from what I have read that rules out the X300 series sadly as that's my preference. Unless the X300 can have ISOFIX retrofitted by Jag? (if so I'd go XJR) Driven 2 Jags in my life (tested) 2016 XJ nice but I preferred the look of the 2005 XJ8, drove that just before Christmas and it was great, so relaxing and enough power to make me smile. I don't need this Jag to be 'fast' just have enough to be a Jag, looking at petrol only, XJ6, XJ8, maybe the XJR but that's probably more than I want to spend right now. Probably max £11K but ideally around £8K. Getting a good car is most important. Is the XJ6 fast enough or is it a bit slow? What do you recommend for me? Thanks.
