Excellent. Gratuitously endowed old petrol engines ftw.
Nice wafter. Didn't fancy swallowing some brave pills and finding an XJ-R of similar vintage?

Does it have Complex Valve Newtonic Timing?Jimmy Choo wrote: Tue Sep 01, 2020 8:30 amMmm. Whafty.McSwede wrote: Tue Sep 01, 2020 7:43 am 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
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.

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

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

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!

I expect Gav meant S-type or XJ

Nah, everyone knows the gopping s type front end.
Must admit, I thought it was an x type from the first pic.

I think the XJ jags suit the inline six better.

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

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.Delphi wrote: Tue Sep 01, 2020 8:43 am
