She really is my pride and joy. I have wanted an S-Type since they first came out, but I never wanted a red one. My colour preference for a car is normally blue, but when I saw her on the forecourt I knew I had to have her, and I have been smiling ever since...

My favourite colour is blue, but when my wife saw a gleaming X Type 2.5 SR AWD in the same red as Ruby she just had to have it, and absolutely loved it, as did I.

 

But a pair of car jackers also liked it and drove off into the sunset.  It appears they are now doing 8 years in Her Majesty's local guest house.

 

But my wife told me to turn a disaster into an opportunity and an Indigo Blue S Type has been our possession for 18 months.

I had a beautiful S-Type for 7 years until it developed a diferential fault. My dealer informed me that it was going to be very expensive to repair needing a new prop shaft, diff and drive shafts - almost as much as it was worth.

They offered me what I thought was a good trade-in price for a 2½  year old XF in the same colour - red, which I just love.

My wife and her cousin both previously said thay didn't like the look of an XF - "Doesn't look like a Jaguar" they said so I had stuck with the S-Type for all those years and would have kept it forever if it hadn't become BER.

I must say it was a great move, 2.2 diesel, road tax £145, 57 MPG and fantastic technology which is great for a tech freak like me!

What I am saying here is, that if the time comes for you to trade in your X or S-Type, embrace the XF, it is a fantastic car and I am so happy to have it.

A logical decision, Stephen.

 

I love my S Type and it will probably be my last car ---  if it stays working properly.

 

I am 80 now but fit and more or less well, although the moving parts need a squirt of WD40 now and then.

 

The XF is a very nice car and although I don't think it looks as good as the S Type, it has the look of a Jaguar ---  I think we all have to accept that styling has to change.

 

Regards,

 

Peter.

Welcome to the Club, Thomas.

 

The S type is a very nice car, and it is good to see so may members taking a lot of pride in a car which, in my opinion, ought to have a Mk IV model in the mind of the designers.

 

Regards,

 

Peter.
