What car should I buy?

[JonMad]

Excellent. Gratuitously endowed old petrol engines ftw.

[Delphi]

... and the Saab was sold for £155 for scrap.

Nice wafter. Didn't fancy swallowing some brave pills and finding an XJ-R of similar vintage?

[McSwede]

An S class or XJ?

An XJ. DYELC

I did mean the one the OP had bought TBF

I know.

[mik]

Great buy. We had an X308 and I'd have an X350. That looks really nice and interior is lovely. Is it Oatmeal?

Gratuitous photo of ours

Mmm. Whafty.

As to the engine, I believe it's derived from the duratec. It's got very complicated valve timing (VCVT) but not the ST220 variable length intake jobbie (VLIJ). It's has CATS but no DAGS.

Does it have Complex Valve Newtonic Timing?

[JonMad]

Oh, and bonus waft points if it’s badged as a Daimler Sovereign not a Jag XJ.

[DeskJockey]

Can't see the first pic, but it sounds like a nice car.

[mik]

So you could only hear the first image?

[DeskJockey]

So you could only hear the first image?

Yes. Don't you hear pictures?

[mik]

Only sometimes

[Rich B]

An S class or XJ?

still trying to work this one out. Did you mean "An X Type or XJ?"

That's the only thing that first angle shot could just about be mistook for!

[mik]

I expect Gav meant S-type or XJ

[integrale_evo]

Nah, everyone knows the gopping s type front end.

Must admit, I thought it was an x type from the first pic.

Nah, everyone knows the gopping s type front end.

I much prefer the original

Snap, It must be the angle of the photo.

I think the XJ jags suit the inline six better.

Dave!

[Jimmy Choo]

Can't see the first pic, but it sounds like a nice car.

Better?

[DeskJockey]

Much. Was reading about someone else getting one of those over on B/S. Looks lovely and definitely on my want list.

Nah, everyone knows the gopping s type front end.

Yep, it does look weirdly small in that pic.

If JL was still about he would be able to correctly interpret the plate as “BJs (h)e give”.

An XJR would have to be an x300 and I wanted an X350. Also, all the ones in my price range were knackered. This one isn't.

I had the same thing, mostly because I didn’t know they put the V6 in the XJ
