Drives fine, very well cared for, quiet, comfy, smooth, handles well enough but I know what they mean - it's no rocket ship.
Seems ironic that Ford ownership had lowered Volvo's quality yet improved Jaguar's. The buttons work, the diff is silent, as is the engine/box (240 bhp). Body is even galvanised. I know that as the bulletholes haven't rusted....
Whatever, this odd and spontaneous purchase has cheered me up a bit.
I bet the 400bhp supercharged one could be fun though, especially as you can buy them for about ninepence these days...

Motto or ethos, depending if you are buying, or selling;

Grace, Space, Pace.

Grace: A length of time the bank gives you to pay your petrol bill.
Space: The thing between your ears, when you buy one.
Pace: A rate of arrival. Not to be confused with how long it takes to get rid of one.

And, yes, I am a Jaguar fan. I love them, I can see why Steve would buy one, even a rusty bullet hole car.

New paragraph. Moving swiftly along. Wafting at pace, nothing quite like them except maybe the SVX.
