Great review

I remember back in 1986 when Jaguar released a special programme on the BBC about the making of the XJ40 and all the fanfare.

Id prefer a Mr2

From my point of wiew, in Sweden - Jaguar have an exclusive reputation, "traditional" design elements and are regarded a a brand with a clear heritage of british design/tech - old jag are cheap, but so are mercedes too - esp the more exclusive models. I do not think the aim at woke ppl will draw new buyers, as most younger ppl in city of Stockholm use car sharing/carpools while ppl as myself (60+ will remain a good taget yet) - I think this is as bad for jaguar as if volvo should dump their safety image - and at last, I think the woke pendulum will swing towards more "traditional" values as most of reasonable ppl with decent jobs want stability - to raise their kids and live as comfortably as possible. Not dance around in colourful dresses looking like crash test dummies. I cinncerely hope Jaguar will survive and take us into the future without forgetting their past.

There is s suspicion that this ad was intended to shock, in order for it to go viral. In that they have succeeded beyond any marketer's dreams. If that was the case, they would keep a stiff upper lip in response to the negative reactions, and then follow up with adverts featuring the cars etc.. Everyone would be interested to see what follows due to the viral spread of the initial ad. But, they didn't do that at all: instead they came out and insulted the public, calling them "vile and intolerant" for not liking the initial ad. That tone deaf response kind of blows the above theory into the weeds. Sad..

Sweet video! I know a guy with a Cadillac V8 swapped fiero for sale, I just made a quick video about it if anyone's interested th-cam.com/video/7_iMjsVG7IY/w-d-xo.html

The first step in improving an automaker's relationship with it's customers is to insult them. If you believe that, then Jaguar is off to a great start. They have been so thorough in their insult that I don't see any way they can recover from it. Bye bye Jaguar, we will miss you.

I felt strange that I wasn't offended by the ad one bit. They could have marketed change by using any formula, they just chose that formula. That's all I saw. I think you explained it in perfect business detail. They have stirred up incredible, debate, interest and anticipation, which Is ideal marketing.

With diminishing sales, Jaguar announces that it is going to abandon its market segment and move upmarket to compete in the Bentley and Rolls Royce luxury car market segment and double the basic price of the cheapest new Jaguar. What could possibly go wrong?

In 2004 I bought a second-hand 2001 X308 XJ8, a Jaguar of the Ford era, for my wife, and this car is still owned by us. Our XJ8 has been an amazingly reliable auto likely because the Ford era contributed to a generally much improved build quality compared to our prior Jaguars. We have been consistently attentive to routine maintenance over the years and that has kept our classically handsome XJ8 running beautifully to this day We both believe that Ford's ownership was a perfect answer allowing Jag to address many of the manufacturing issues especially evident in the earlier years. As much as we love Jaguar, we both believe that the new advert campaign is a fundamental error, and not a correct direction to begin its new BEV model rebranding. So we disagree with your opinion, sorry. Cheers.

I own a 68 Sunbeam Rapier today

Good points, When the Mark X (10) hits the streets, it was rather radical compared to its predecessors ( same could be said for the XJ). Those still running around their beloved 2nd hand Mark V's etc reacting much as those today. Just like those that bit their lip when the Silver Shadow appeared. Fast forward to the XJS, OMG the horror "how could they" E Type lovers speak of it as blasphemy - yeh for Gen X it was their poster Jag. They do need to pull a cat out of the bag though. In the past 10years there's been nothing inspiring that's "poster on wall or a screen saver" material. "one day I want one of them" moment has been lacking in their product range.

The XJ40 was a superbly engineered car. The styling is still beautiful.

I worked for Rover from 90 to 05 so the Sterling is definitely from my period. In 15 years I only once ever fancied a Rover with my staff discount of 35% & when offers were on we could get a brand new car for half price. I wanted a Rover 220 Turbo Tomcat coupe. Couldn't find 1 in any dealership in West Yorkshire as I worked for Rovers automotive Foundry in Leeds ( West Yorkshire Foundry) I found a 6 months old demonstrator but that didn't entitle me to my discount. Cars had to be in stock in any Rover dealership unregistered. 800s wasn't that bad & 600s the rest were crap.

I've got an 1989 and a 1990 myself the 89' is black and the 90' was white

That Cadillac isn't the B body Fleetwood that shared mechanicals with the Buick Roadmaster. That is the front wheel drive C body Deville fron 1989 -1993.

Nice finds over there - youngtimer and oldtimer Mercs, Sterling.

Nice to know someone likes the Sterling. It doesn't look in too bad a shape. Shame they wont part with it.

We need a coyote powered Fiero GT project.

I do try and visit a few breakers while i'm on holiday in the usa, mainly looking for ford escort zx2 parts, sadly they are scarce. but i do love a good rummage around these breakers.

Well, the LeMans name has already been tarnished by 1978-1981 rebadge of an A/G - body car. So no big deal here. As for the car itself - typical 80's Korean PoS.

Fascinating find for sure. So many Italian cars, as if You're in Italy. Such a shame there were no 124 sedans/wagons.

I hate to be that guy but I got that exact same setup 😂mines two years newer and a gt fastback though

I'm a bit confused. Why would you use a garmin and have carplay at the same time? Just use your phone for maps

Nice video, and looks like an overall solid vehicle for its age. Better idea than the full-size camper for your needs as well. Too bad about the electrical but you seem to know your way around a fix. Good luck!

Nice car. But the hat? Dude....

I still remember the Merkur commercials, I think James Earle Jones provided the voice. I was blown away and thought they were really cool! A friend had one in NC. Americans had finally accepted that turbo fours were actually cool performance machines, thanks to Chrysler which was turbocharging everything at the time. Although, they still were not our beloved V8s, but turbo fours were selling well at the time. The jellybean styling was already a hit here after the successful introduction of the Tempo/Topaz. European car brands, from Porche to BMW, Meredes, Volvo, VW and Jaquar were selling well then. Even the French (Peugeot and Renault) were in the US at the time! So why wasn't there room for these cool cars in the US at the time? My guess is poor marketing. They probably should've just been called Fords or perhaps Mercury, rather than Merkur, which constantly had to be explained. That may have made all the difference in the world.

The Bronco Sport has been growing on me. Considering one for next vehicle.

Just got a 2025 trax 1lt, and so far, I like it. I was looking at the Mazda cx50, which is very nice. All the features i have in my trax and sticker price 24, 950. The mazda with equal features would've been for me closer to 40k. Now, I just have to see how long it lasts.

I want to do the same thing but with the Gen 1 86-91 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sables. I'd love to especially find an 86 LX Taurus wagon in red.

I’ve read books and watched many videos on the XJ-S and still learned a few new things watching your video.

I ran into this guy in Richmond VA spring/early summer. I had never seen a Cricket before

Ela podia ser manual 4x4 diesel ❤🎉😊 ela tá muito bonita ❤🎉😊

Had an 88 Fiero converted to a supercharged 3800 V6. Like a go cart on steroids

Interesting video Darren. Nice to see some of the early development pictures. I have always thought it unfair that the XJS is knocked by so many and leads you to think no one likes them which isn't true. They have a big following and people really do like them. It was unfair to compare them against the e type. It wasn't an e type it was an XJS. In the mid 70's we got the SD1 Rover, Tr7, Princess, and the XJS and it was too much of a shock for many people. British cars were trying to modernise but the public weren't yet ready for them. The XJS i believe had the longest production run of any Jaguar and when the convertible was released in 1988 it lead i think in 1990 to its best sales year. I own a 1992 Facelift V12 Convertible and since buying it , it has amazed me how much attention it gets where ever i go. Strangely enough i was never keen on the look of the facelift lights until i got mine and i love it. They are the most comfortable seats i have ever had in a car and they are lovely cars. You got a bargain with yours and it been the Coupe in the USA as you said will make it rarer and a little bit more special. I saw the thumbnail and expected to see a US spec car and when you started speaking i thought you were a brit and confirmed when i looked at your homepage.👍

Got mine a week ago I absolutely love it feels amazing to drive, looks great and is very comfy

Fantastic! I have a 72 4 Speed sedan and I love it, I have a bunch of parts for it to get it back on the road but it does run and drive as it sits.

Have a 1994 too and love it. Thanks mate 👍
