A schooling in Jaguar: a lifetime fan speaks

3.5

Peter Wass, 08 July 2010 10:40

My Jaguar story starts in 1978. I started at secondary school which entailed a train journey each morning and then a five-minute walk. Almost every day on that walk I was passed by a beautiful Squadron Blue 4.2 XJ6 with a black vinyl roof, chrome plated wheels and a private registration number. It turned out that this stunning car belonged ...

Happiness is a Jaguar XJ6 Coupé, says Michael J. Scott

Michael J. Scott, 01 July 2010 10:17

My first Jaguar experience was with the purchase of an XJ6 Coupe which I bought because I thought it was very elegant. The 4.2 straight six never failed to impress in the way the car just disappeared over the horizon in plush silence (apart from some wind noise from the door seals) and I loved the drama of opening two ...

Living with a Jaguar XF: a CAR reader's long-term test

3.5

Tim Gosling, 25 June 2010 20:04

I was definitely an XF ‘early adopter’. My S-Type had been reliable, relaxing transport with excellent ergonomics but the styling teetered nervously on the border between distinguished and frumpy. Then I saw the C-XF concept and was blown away with Ian Callum’s sleek, aggressively modern design. I put a deposit down pretty much straightaway and toward the end of 2007 ...

Dusting off chavs in a 1963 Jaguar Mark II 3.8

The guy in the baseball cap with the gold sticker still on the peak glanced across and registered nothing. The empty sound of 1.6 litres of Citroen’s finest fell impotently out through an exhaust pipe larger than a drain. Content in the thought that he did not need to worry about the old-fashioned chrome laden crock next to him, the ...

In search of Jag Man: a reader's sociological research

4.5

Eóin Doyle, 24 June 2010 11:50

I’ve always felt there to be an odd contradiction between Jaguar: image and reality. Such sensual, glamorous forms, evoking the Champs Élysées or Hollywood Boulevard, yet it’s beneath the leaden skies of Middle England that Jaguar’s soul predominantly calls home. So, in attempting to distil the essence of Jaguar Man, it is useful to separate folklore from reality, cliché from ...

Jags and my Dad: growing up with a Jagaholic

4.5

Ted Melaniphy, 24 June 2010 11:50

My Dad was a great Irish man: a Harrier pilot, RAF missile base commander and the kind of character who'd walk into a room and become the life and soul of whatever was happening. He only ever owned Jaguars. No wonder I worshipped him. I vaguely remember the 1967 3.8 Mk II (grey with red leather) he had when I ...

Jaguar & me: high-maintenance love

Anonymous, 24 June 2010 11:50

In a fit of madness a few years ago, and seeking solace from impending divorce at the time, I purchased a gorgeous blue Series III XJ6, with wonderful dark blue leather upholstery, that was at the time about five years old. Just 40,000 miles on the clock. I then drove the hell out of it for three years to 100,000 ...

Jaguar: from granddad's XJ to my XJS

Brough Ransom, 20 June 2010 10:02

A love of Jaguars from childhood is a common theme among the Jaguarati and I am no different. My grandfather owned Jaguars for 50 years, each one bought from new and a treasured possession. I was incredibly impressed by these beautiful beasts, where only the crunch of gravel heralded his arrival, nothing as common as an engine note. When the ...
