Looking great, KC, now imagine those shiny Penta's on them, will be a stunner ....
And I found the safest, and most rewarding way to clean up the engine bay is WD40, and lots of old rags.
WD40 dissolves most of the gunk, and leaves that satin finish for quite a long time (it just smells for 5 min after doing so ...).

I also use it in the wheel wells to re-blacken the skirts, it gives it depth. Same goes for wiping it around your door and lid seals, it'll keep them moist and they'll last longer, plus, you really don't notice it until you do it, ...how it makes the car look newer.

Positively summer for Wellingon, people are still vertical
[/QUOTE]Weather was a bit poor over the weekend, which gave me the perfect excuse to get out of gardening and go for a trip with one of the local Jaguar clubs.
All in there were about 20 cars, and a stray Ferrari 488. There were only two XJ's, myself and a Series I XJ6. I counted 10 XK's, a few S-Types (old and new), an F-Type, and an E-Type

I know this thread is titled "sexy 308 pics", but after rsgensburg's posting of the XJ coupe pic, I had to post these pics of a 420G. Still probably the best looking 4 door Jag ever. It was the first Jag to have that backward-sloping radiator grill and front end, which was quite radical and futuristic looking in 1961, and became a Jaguar standard through the XJ series.
The highly successful XJ6 of 1968 was maybe more sporty looking, more compact and modern looking, but the MKX/420G was as luxurious as Jags got. 5" longer than our XJ8s, and even 1" longer than the LWB/VDP models, and a massive 7" wider, which gave a huge, luxurious interior, I have never seen larger more luxurious seats in an automobile than in the MKX/420G. The first 4-door Jag to have independent rear suspension, and on a track wider than that of the E-Type, and a huge trunk/boot too.
I had a 1964 dark blue MKX in the mid '70s, a 3.8 manual with O/D, it never gave any trouble all the time I owned it.

Absolutely beautiful car. One reason I love my X308 is that the styling elements harken back to this car and other vintage XJ sedans. I absolutely detest the styling of the new generation XJ-8s. I actually saw a 420 in a vintage car show recently and posted on Facebook about how old you have to be to remember a car that had those small front vent windows.

Yes, the XJ6 (and later XJ12) were extremely stylish 4 doors, and sales figures reflected the buying public's approval.
One last pic of a 420G, to show how they lent themselves to a variety of two-toning......even in contrasting colors like this one!
