Hi

 

So I've just joined after recently (and finally) becoming a Jaguar owner :D

 

I've wanted a Jag as long as I can remember - basically since I could say the word Jag which was longer ago than I care to remember!

This year I finally did it and in July I got a 2004 (53) 3.0 V6 S-Type for a price I couldn't say no to and I've not been disappointed by the car one bit.

It's not perfect by any standards and was made slightly less perfect just 10 days after I got it when some @$$h0l£, sorry person in a Merc decided to attempt to remove the N/S/F wing in a car park for me. There were some choice words coming out of my mouth the moment I saw that!

Thankfully I've managed to find a replacement wing in (nearly) the same colour which I just need to fit now.

 

The car though (in my humble opinion) is wonderful, marvellous and far and away the best car I have ever owned and I think I have now spoiled myself for anything else.

 

Having said all that, I am really looking forward to the day I can afford the XJR I really want ;)

Matt,

 

Welcome , sorry about your little prang, hope all is well now . Love the look of the S type, the last "proper jag" , a throwback to the The Mark 2.

 

 

Used to have a XJ Supersport which was an ex Jag directors car , it had every extra you could dream about, including Kylie Minogue to wash it twice a week . It was a brilliant car, but according to the wife didn't look like a proper Jag ( like yours) . So she persuaded me to get rid of it . She said after I swapped the Aston Martin for it ( long story) it must have felt like going out with Miss World, and coming home with Susan Boyle.

 

I now have an XKR which I love to bits, considered getting an XKR-S, but the extra money for little extra performance just wasn't worth it .

 

ATB,

 

Trevor

hi matt and welcome. i like the s type, nearly bought one myself. enjoy your car and the club. peter will be along shortly he has one. regards charlie

Welcome to the Club, Matt.

 

Careless drivers get up my nose, too, as I like to have a nice tidy car.

 

I think that the S Type is a car with that element of nostalgia and a model I always wanted when I saw my friends Mk1 which he had painstakingly restorered over a year or so.

 

I have had mine for 15 months now after someone borrowed my X Type on an interest free non returnable basis.

 

You will enjoy your S Type as it can be a wolf in sheep's clothing, or vice versa when driven like a limousine!

 

Regards,

 

Peter.

Morning Matt,

 

I'm pretty new myself,

 

However welcome to the JOC, I love the "S" type , I was only saying the other day, how I just love the way they sit, a Jag statement through & through.  I've hired them in the past and had one from the Jag centre when I used to use them for servicing, but never actually got round to owning one.

I shall have to put it on my aggenda...

 

Cheers for now
