Hello all,

Brand new member here, no Jag yet but intently looking for a non-black (inside and out), relatively low mileage XJR, preferably an X358 but an X350 would also do.

I am a car guy from as long as I can remember and my current small stable consists of:



both purchased new by me in 1974 and 1995, respectively.

I have learned a ton about my target XJR from spending several hours reading through your knowledgeable and very helpful posts (as well as other online and print reference works) so I think I am ready to make an intelligent decision on my purchase. I am mechanically adept and am ready to accept the challenges of owning an older luxury performance car.

I know there are two X350 XJRs on the forum site now, both nice cars but one is black/black and the other has a few too many miles on it for me right now. I pore over online sites every morning and think I have pretty good feel for what is out there (at least what can be somewhat easily found) and will continue to do so, but if anyone knows of a nice (again, non-black, preferably X358) XJR, please let me know.

Thanks!

Welcome to the forums pfrank,

I always wanted a black Jaguar - until I got one. Never again. Beautiful to look at but a nightmare to keep clean!

It sounds like you've already found your way to the X350 and X351 forums so there's no need for a link to it from me.

Enjoy the forums and good luck in the search for your Jaguar.

Graham

Wow, thanks for the warm welcome. I look forward to sharing details of my quest as it evolves.

And just today on that well known car guy auction site there is a new no reserve listing for an '07 XJR but of course it is black/black, colors I have said I do not want. It is beautiful though...

Keep referring to this whenever you weaken in your non-black resolve:





Other colours are available.
