      I hit a wet patch in my 97 xj6 , spun out and smashed into a telephone pole then slid 360 the opposite direction into a tree , all i had was a blury eye for a few days from the airbag , these cars are great for protecting the passengers

    i owned a 1999 daimler super v8 when a driver cut in my lane on the motorway ..ended up braking in sleet and black ice car hit the barrier at 110mph flipped 3 times with 3 kids and a new kitten inside ..rolled back over on its wheels and drove it back home 30miles away ..this car truly saved me and my family ..&& the kitten ..AMAZING

    I own a black 98 xjr. Bought it without doing homework. Had to put a new engine in it after 3 weeks. Also, recently spent 5K welding the vmounts, new break linings, petrol linings, exhaust, petrol pumps, radiator and much more. Put best part of 11k repairs in last 6 yrs not to mention the thirst for 98 octane. But I love it. I love the way she just sits there being sinister, timeless and pretty. I love the way she brings me to any location in style. I love the way she humiliates a lot of modern cars at the lights effortlessly. Cars just aren't made like this anymore. It's understated and the sound of the supercharger will never ever get boring.
    This is a great video that I've not seen before. Thanks

    @waldenhouse Před 5 lety +3

    I have the XJ6 Exec (2006 MY) which is proving difficult to replace as the last was built in 2009. They are now quite rare, it seems. Has many of the features explained here and is a beautiful car. Keeping it on the road is an expensive luxury but well worth it (about £3K per annum). There is a minor paint issue with the aluminium underneath ‘powdering’ at vulnerable points, corner of the door seams/bumper etc. This will be an expensive resolve but again, well worth it. A fabulous vehicle, silent in operation, cruising on the motorways is quiet and the engine ‘purrs’ while the bumps of the road are smoothed out by the advanced independent suspension. A unique and sought after marque. Beautiful car.

      pokejag 04 garage not all but many. I have owned several Jags. These X308 Jags will rise in value as the years move on, thus I like putting my marked on history. Someday I’ll post my videos of my mint showroom 2003 Platinum Silver XJ8 Vanden Plas. Elegance personified. Love these X308 cars and their rich history. The awful upright styling, poor aluminum build quality of the X350 was an abomination. The 2003 (X308) XJ8 was the last of the best.

    I was walking across the interstate and a 1998 Jaguar XJ8 hit me at 140 mph. I wasn't harmed but the Jaguar flipped 88 times and then hit a wall. All 28 passengers were safe and apologized for the accident. They drove away from the accident, after that day I found out I had hepatitis c. That's why I drive Jaguar

      Funnily enough the gearboxes were German and the same ones found in the Mercedes.
      I really wanted an XJ 308 but my head told me to get a BMW E39 525. I loved the e39 but it certainly was not reliable. Alternator went twice, thermostat was faulty which caused the engine to overheat, I had to get a replacement head, then the master cylinder went.
      I still think the e39 is a better car, and I really loved it, but I think the XJ just has that X factor that other cars don't quite have.
