Article in Jaguar World compares X308 to X350

Maybe yours will show up. Mine took 3 1/2 weeks or so. Received all four that were ordered.
Thought about a subscription. Not enough meat comparing models and articles on restored oldies. I have no plans for an oldie even with the reasonable prices in England.
I know several past owners on the 60's and 70's models. This when they were not very old. They still were in the shop as much as the road. Now at 40 - 50 years old it would be a full time job to drive one on a regualr basis.

It is indeed. I have been a subscriber for many years. I think it used to be called Jaguar Quarterly initially or they used to publish both. The earliest one of those I have looks like it is a first edition from 1988 and I have bought most editions of Jaguar World since the early 1990's.
I still carried on getting them when I moved from the UK to New Zealand but switched to the electronic version in 2011 so I now have PDF copies of every edition since then which makes them much more accessible.
They are a great resource of information especially as the early ones predate much of what is now commonly available on the Internet. The road tests and other articles have little snippets of information that is hard to find elsewhere.

Back in the '90's I used to buy Classic And Sports Cars and a couple of other British magazines off the newstand on a regular basis. That's when I had a 1970 Fiat 124. That car was a blast! I used to think Fiat's were a PITA to keep on the road...till I started buying Jags!
My 1972 Mercedes 450 SL has proven to be the most reliable of the classic cars that I've owned. I've had it for about 18 years now. Built like a tank.
BTW, I currently own a 2001 (308) and a 2004 (350). Maybe I should do my own comparison? Although both are in the doghouse at the moment .
