To clarify, I really have no intention of giving up oldie Jags. I'm keeping my Series III, at least for the time being. If I sell it, I'll replace it with another !

Not sure If I understand the bit about my old red XJ

Doug, maybe I can tempt you... Thinking of letting mine go. Will start a private conversation with you

 

Doug is used to having a V12. Once you've driven one, you never go back to a 6.

Oh, so true….the mere sound of the V12 starter motor (like a turbine) puts a smile on my face. The V12 is silky smooth, silent, responsive, somewhat thirsty, but that magnificent engine teamed with the smooth GM 400 transmission…well, no matter how beautiful the XJ6, there is no comparison to the driving/owning experience.

The gem is the V12 in the Series III body, especially with Vanden Plas trim. So beautiful.

 

Very tempting. I was "eying up" your car a few months ago. It's a beauty.

I'm a "never say never" person. But, as mentioned, once you've gone V12 it's hard going back to a 6 cylinder.

My present car was an XJ6 that I converted to a V12. I could always do that again....but I'm not sure I have it in me right now.
